AA, DL, UA and US all had shuttles between LAX-SFO and we all know how bad that worked out for everyone.
DL will be starting CLT-PHL and CLT-EWR soon, they appear not to be shy adding lift into other hubs... I am sure some will argue it's only a couple of flights, but it seems they are slowly ramping up in CLT...not bad considering they are right up the road from their mega hub....
And the ramp is farmed out.Some might say CLT is already ramped up for DL... I think we have something like 40(ish) flights/day out of there?
As for LAX-SFO, I was surprised AS' presence is almost non-existant.

Fetal position, that's funny. Those few flts with E-190's are killin US. If SWA didn't have US in the fetal position on this route, I doubt B6 will. Maybe they will put some 321's in there someday too...700 thinks he knows better than the management running the airlines. Airlines are known to serve routes/markets that are highly unprofitable but necessary components in their network. Serving LAX-SFO and keeping a HVC on a DL (Connection) jet over AA, UA, or WN keeps the customer loyal so when it comes time to book that lucrative business class LAX-NRT or LAX-JFK DL hopes to be their carrier of choice.
US is clearly in the fetal position now on BOS-PHL added many flights (including A321s) and slashed fares, seems they feel threatened by jetblues entry into that market.

They served the route (LAX-SFO) several years back but now fly from other area airports (ie SJC-LAX)
