Oh sure, he got widebodys in WestJet paint but they're flown by contract crews not WestJet pilots. Is that the kind of out side the box thinking we need here at AS....? Not to mention he was fired from there too.
Doppelgänger is a stretch:

JetBlue was founded in 1998, it has 3800+ pilots and is getting ready to fly transatlantic.

Alaska was founded in 1932, it has 2800 pilots, and is shrinking back into its Seattle shell because “it’s tough out there.”
