I think you are right...I confused a code share flt dca-ord-san on a 320 as the non stop. All non stops flts look to be on a 319.

"Once the new flights begin, 99 percent of the airline's available seat miles (ASMs) will operate to or from its core service areas and US Airways Shuttle that operates hourly between Washington, Boston and New York's LaGuardia Airport."
What is the other 1%? Is BOS-PIT and LGA-ILM part of that? What else?

Still some at-risk flying out of PIT with Trans States Airlines... PIT-STL, PIT-BDL, PIT-RDU, etc.
So Assumes Jester
US already has three 3 flights/day DCA-PHX.

Should not have a lot of competition, flights should have quite a few empty seats. Good choice for the marketing interns.

Maybe there is a fair amount of business from the Government with folks going to Camp Pendleton, the SAN Naval base etc etc? Maybe the thought process is that the Government provides a large enough base revenue to cover most of the dead cost and if the business & consumer travel picks up then they have a good route?

Threads were merged. US didn't announce any new flights out of PHX. Not just DCA.

Excuse my ignorance, but does this mean Alaska will start SAN as well, or are they going somewhere else?
US' new DCA-SAN is going to be started, and per the rules of all new beyond-perimeter slots, the airline has to give up one roundtrip in-perimeter. They feel this was the lowest yielding route to chop down. They'll still have near daily service.
No "this is because of a merger/overlap" sort of stuff going on here.
