Burbank is also quite crowded for its size.  Also, WN used to fly into SFO, 
but that is one of 4 cities they have left over the years.  They actually 
served SFO before serving OAK or SJC but found OAK a better focus city and moved 
there completely early this decade.  As far as quick turns goes, B6, at this 
point, does not turn their transcon aircraft all that quickly and WN has proved 
that a quick turn is very possible at LAX.  With B6, they would easily be able 
to quickturn (if they actually started doing them) aircraft at LAX if they 
wanted to
