The added frequencies are to LAX, OAK, ONT, PDX, PHX, RNO, SAN, SJC & SMF. With the exception of OAK service begins 1/7/04. OAK increased service began 10/26/03. The interesting thing about this capacity increase is Cactus does it through better aircraft utilization. A smart move that's bound to make Ragman even more money! >> This is a good move for them. It is well known that jetBlue has been jumping at Vegas since National went down. I believe the even accelerated their entry into the market after the bankruptcy. Since they are turning their aircraft faster now, I hope HP is staying away from UA hangars =).
