In my specific situation Alaska seems like a great place. Do I have Alaska Blue colored glasses on?
The other big 4 all fly to Hawaii and Mexico and are getting new 73s, so unless you have a hankering’ to fly SE AK or want to live in/near PDX there’s no advantage there . It remains to be seen by how much AS gets passed by the other heavy hitters. I’m not saying don’t go to AS, just understand where things are at for now.
