When SW went into EWR, it was gonna destroy Continental/United's operation. When SW started flying to MX, everyone was gonna lose their cabo pax. Now they're going to HI and once again the sky is heading right for us. Nothing changed for anyone except SW pilots then and nothing is going to change now. So relax and take solace in knowing that not one once of acknowledging SWA is flying to HI will change the outcome.
Comparing Alaska to Continental/United is apples to oranges. UA has global presence out of EWR, whereas Alaska has what? Oh yeah.... codesharing partners. Let’s face it, United has nearly more daily flights out of EWR alone than we have out of all our west coast hubs combined!
