Alaska??? Not a chance, they have no foresight or desire to be anything other than what they are.

First and foremost DAL has 6x the market cap and AS is afraid to get smacked down like the 4 state bush league regional that it is. Small thinkers get small results. Doing anything different would put AS so far out of its league they just simply would not know what to do.

Hurtling conservatively into the past for 85 years...that's the motto up there on the lake.
