We've been told they want to have in the range of 250+ planes in a few years. Any ideas of keeping the Airbus or moving to an all 737 fleet. Also to stay competitive and expand more are they ever thinking about getting wide bodies and perhaps expanding more internationally to compete with the big three?
Alaska does have wide bodies... via AA and any of the other codeshare partners they feed.
