Alaska is far too arrogant to let themselves be bought regardless if “end of times” ever comes near.

Alaska is basically printing money. It is a terrible airline to be a pilot for but as far as business success goes, Alaska is hugely successful in the good/fair economy .

I think Alaska allowing themselves to be acquired or a party to another merger is the only route to long term survival. I think Angel Lake is far too in love with the Eskimo to ever give it up. Unfortunately for my former brothers and sisters at Alaska any light at the end of the tunnel is purely conjecture.
