Since this is "what I'm all about" I better live up to the expectations ;-)

AS 3Q results:
Alaska Air Group Reports Record Adjusted Third Quarter Results

Hilites:

• Record third quarter income, $131.1 million, compared to $118.1 million q3 2010.
• Revenues improved by 12 percent with record load factors and higher yields in each month of the quarter, more than offsetting the 41 percent increase in economic fuel costs.
  
• Non-fuel unit costs declined by 2.6 percent.
• Improved employee productivity by 3.8 percent compared to Q3 2010.
• Adjusted debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 61 percent, lowest level on record.
• Twelve-month return on invested capital of 12 percent.
  
• Capacity (ASM) +6.0%
• Traffic (RPM) +8.2%
• Operating Revenue per ASM (RASM) +6.8%
• Regional ASM -4.5%

Since someone will invariable bring it up:
All furloughed offered a class date
Hiring 300+
Adding jets to the fleet

None of this at Alaska were possible at this level without the partnership of Delta Air Lines

Can we say the same?
Are our reps aware of this?
What do they say?

Ask them!
