Literally took the words out of my mouth. It takes a while before people new to paying attention to Alaska, realize that their default position is to SHRINK the footprint, add seats and/or frequency via mainline OR regionals and call it growth. All those Max orders? I PROMISE you that if they thought they could sell them at a profit, retreat back to 2008 and turn a profit while hoping for the next economic downturn….. they would. I’ve said it before…. We are not a lion…. We are a jackal. We do not hunt out, seek prey and compete, we wait until something unfortunate happens to a competitor, and pick at the bones until another apex predator scares us off.
