I always wonder that too. Why are the best guys in the business working at a regional airline? Surely Delta, American, United or an overseas airline would throw money at these geniuses to get them to come over and run their business as well as they run Alaska.
Or is it because these guys aren’t the best, and the other airlines already have the best. Maybe that’s why the other airlines are in the position they are in and we are a regional that’s hung in for 87 years.
