There will be good things coming to BOI, but developments with airlines considering new service don't happen overnight. Some of this recent bad news is what will allow good news to be announced. New opportunities are created by these flight reductions. I somewhat disagree that 4-flights to LAX was overcapacity. I was told American filled 85% of its seats in January, right before the flights ended. United continued to do about as well as it had been before American arrived. I agree it would be wise for United to add another frequency. 3-flights would be perfect and likely do as you suggest in keeping out competition. Only time will tell whether United agrees with you and I.

The 757-200 typically holds about 180-186 passengers in a 2-class config. It is virtually the same fuselage length as a 737-900, if you've ever been on one of those. It's been around for 30-years now, but is still very much in demand, thankfully, as it's a great looking airplane!
