I know some of you will be butt hurt but VX boys ‘n girls should accept the fact that y’all scored big. At the end of the day, Alaskan is still a career legacy.
Career Legacy is poetic license at its finest....By definition we are a jet regional. Merging with Virgin makes us a jet national. Alaska was hardly a scheduled airline until Jet America forced their hand. To be a Legacy airline you have to have a legacy contract....which we dont have and have not had for at least 13 years....What we do have and have always had is Legacy Ego!!!!And it has assured us that we will slways trail by 20% plus the major airlines in the US....
