Alaska has many great crews. Wish them nothing but the best. East coast is just already saturated I'm unsure how well other markets to hubs of competitors would do....
From our VP of Planning and revenue management:
"Harrison believes Alaska can compete with US Airways because “our costs are coming down and the balance of originating traffic is in our favor. More people in Seattle — where we are strong — want to go to Philadelphia than people in Philadelphia — where US Airways is strong — want to come to Seattle,” he said."
I've met this guy and think he is one of Alaska's greatest management assets.
