Been hearing this too. But I can't help but wonder why we still couldn't get SEA as a full "hub" WRT the AS agreement...or at least lock them out of what has been reduced thus far if the company really wanted to preserve an unlikely lifeline in the astronomically unlikely event their merger falls apart.

It really makes it interesting that we're hearing this during the ratification window. The appearance of impropriety doesn't mean there is any, but the timing coupled with our inability to limit AS in the TA is at least suspect.
