Do they pay you extra to post this drivel? AS buying Hawaiian would be a giant gift to Southwest and anyone else who felt like picking up the pieces after we ran it into the ground. We'd be adding 900 pilots and the first thing they'd do is set up a 175 base to replace all the interisland flying. There would also be a massive amount of overlap on the West Coast that would see frequency reductions. If we're lucky that would only cause a few years of seniority stagnation while they fretted over buying one more 737 simulator and, if they're feeling really frisky, a long term lease on an Airbus Sim to handle the inevitable displacements.

Now for the bad news. AS management is so conceited that they would try to show HA how to run an airline and remove all traces of what made people fly on them in the first place. Stop me if this all sounds familiar. Within another year or so we'll all be back on here begging you for another cup of Kool aide to make us feel better about working here.
