Purely for conversation:
I think JB is a radioactive concern for us.
The best thing for Delta and us, is they remain independent.
A UAL/JB partnership is not great for us, and a merger is awful as they would massively dominate NYC. Not a ton of overlapping routes since UAL has zero JFK flying.
Another overlooked option that I’d be looking at if I’m Ben Mininucci(Alaska CEO) is a JB merger catapulting Alaska into Global network carrier overnight. Again, simply
more competition.
And finally a potential DL/JB merger. I don’t think this would work with overlapping routes but a Delta/JB seniority integration would be a nightmare with their much younger pilot group.
Any thoughts?
I just hope our execs are paying attention.
competition is good. Could see us getting 350’s in NYC or something to compete with AA 787 and UAL 787/777.. our old 767’s are not going to be able to compete with that product. UAL is already the biggest carrier fleet wise at Mainline. Growing organically is better for our pilot group for growth and being risk adverse - DL stepped up the game in SEA with Alaska 787’s coming in there
