If its an internet rumor, run with it. Those are gold.
So what's the rumor source?

Also, supposedly American has already overtaken DAL as Alaska's biggest code share partner, so the whole situation may have unintended consequences for DAL. Reference American into Mexico City and AS into JFK.

Me: "Kowalski, what's the probability now of us merging?"
Kowalski: "Skippper, if big wigs say it ain't happening, then F15Crickett should prepare for Delta Indoc in Atlanta in 2017. And when they offer you either NYC88B or invite you to go on the canoe trip in north Georgia, just know, the banjo music means you'll be slightly less screwed."

He might be well informed to change his positions of advocacy if he'd like to remain flying the 'mo around...
