The carrier plans to operate four daily services using E-170 equipment however it is still going through the certification process with the FAA. California Pacific Airlines will compete with Southwest Airlines on the San Diego-Las Vegas route. Southwest currently has a monopoly on the route after US Airways pulled out in late-2009.
