As Sailingfun said, I think the future for SEA is for coexistence. Now, Juneau, on the other hand, is a different story. Can't wait to see how the summer shapes up there, especially as the Localizer is turned off until early July, and we are landing on the taxiway. (Just got back from there an hour ago.). Safe travels to all my DAL (and DAL as operated by SkyWest) buddies who will fly southeast this summer!
