And our ALPA better emphasize that fact when mgmt. tries this "we're the only game in town in the state of AK" argument.
I don’t know what to say except that you are completely wrong. The truth is what I and others have stated. We have seen millions of pounds of back logged freight on the ramp simply because the 400 combi was late coming on line or the freighter was broke hard. That’s truth. Ravn, big and little Ace, Lyndon and all the others will certainly do all they can to provide lift and make money, but they can not handle the volume of freight AND passengers. Do you think that Princess Lisa will let the cries of the tribal leaders fall on deaf ears when they tell her that the kids are outta soda pop in BET, OME, OTZ, and BRW? Don’t think she will mind when the pipeline gets shut down due to lack of slopers ? How bout we shut down the largest zinc mine in the world for a week or two? No problem right? Believe what you want but I’ll stick to reality. Just because you don’t like the truth does not mean that it’s not the truth.
