Just like everything else, Alaska says one thing indicating a true combination of both, but ends up just making it all Alaska, so my guess is that we will all be flying 737s.
Thanks for the update. One fleet of 737s makes complete sense economically which is why it will happen. Ergonomically for unimportant pilots (and for pax IMO) that would be a bummer..... Having spent time in the 737 jumpseat for longish flights, that cockpit gets tight real fast.
Although, for you, compared to the Netjets Phenom, I suppose the 737 would be super spacious. It's all relative.
