Even a Company like SWA is realizing that betting on one horse can be very bad for business, as seen with the MAX debacle!
Alaska must seriously consider the Airbus especially since they can also see the MAX issues and we already have been making solid profits with a mixed fleet!
If Alaska decides against Airbus I personally think this will be a big mistake since we have everything in place for a dual fleet already and reverting back to a single fleet is just a mistake unless of course they are seeing the writing on the Wall for a future Merger and just don’t care for the long term outlook...
