Met a fairly senior HA captain in Maui a month or so ago going through security and he made a comment that there were a lot of rumors going around about an Alaska/Hawaiian merger/aquisition. I really don't see this being in the AK business model of a single fleet and moving/growing at a snails pace and sticking to a conservative mindset. It does make a little sense to try to control seats to/from the islands if LUV starts service anytime soon. Thoughts, comments, smart remarks welcome
