[QUOTE=Ala5ka;2683981]It’s not a new revelation.. our terminal and airplanes have been noticeably less full...and it’s odd, when I walked from our terminal to Uniteds to catch my commute home their terminal was as crowded as ever... I guess it isn’t October in terminal 3?[/QUOTE

How about this... the Delta flights are full to/from FAI and ANC. That means ANC-SEA, ANC-MSP and ANC-ATL. You can connect to a lot more places in SEA, MSP and ATL other than AS's silly one flight a day from SEA/PDX.

They’re full...but are they profitable on those flights with all the reduced fares they offer. FYI SEA > FAI is on a payload optimized RJ most of the year.

From: 737 FO
Last year FAI-SEA was mainline all year. This year is mainline for all but something like a month or month and a half. It's an A319 right now, goes to an E-175 for a short bit then to a 737 around the holidays then back to E-175 and back to A319 before the summer season starts again with 737s. Flight showed mainline all year this winter too until a few weeks ago. Supposedly the RJ this year is more due to upguaging another route with the Airbus so Fairbanks lost it for a while.
That said, Alaska still has a lot more flights to and from Fairbanks and ANC. Ticket prices aren't lower on Delta though from what I understand from friends who travel those routes semi regularly as paying passengers.

The 175 can take a full plane of pax up to FAI and cargo too. Didn’t do it last year cause the alternate they use up there wasn’t avaliable last year. And they usually take the pax over bags. Bags get sent up on another carrier.
