Alaska buys airlines when their perceived territory is threatened. Delta wanted Jet America, United wanted QX for regional feed, and JB wanted VX. I think QX was forced out of Frontier regional flying because of the same perception and then didn't know what to do with the CRJs. Leased all of them to OO or something. That could be perceived as a weakness in the business decision making process. Was that Eastern or Pan Am's way out? Not suggesting the VX merger would produce those results, but it has happened before.

Any more hiring news?
