You are welcome.
Alaskan Airways has always been a lucrative small fish eyed by the big fish even before you and I were born. For 80+ years, it has survived to become a distant 5th largest fish. Red Anchovy Little was about to be beached by its clan and merciful Alaskan came along and swallowed it whole while blue tilapia went home with its caudal fin tucked away. Funny thing is now Anchovy Little is thumping its little chest acting tough and entitled. In any case, welcome to the family little fella!
