JFK-LAX was a node to AAL and OneWorld. AS could make money on all the above routes, but they could make more in others…. We are always about making more. Remember, we are a smaller airline, with only so many jets, those jets will be used in markets that produce the highest yields…. This is a good thing and should not be difficult to understand. Just because two big cities are paired together, that doesn’t necessarily equate to the best margin, or the best use of assets…., sometimes it works best for you, makes the most sense to you, but not so great for yields.

Last year was a weird year for almost every airline, wouldn’t you say🤔 And what were our margins compared to every other airline? 🤔🤔
That was the effect of the "Alaska Discount".
