Many of them say they are a “global carrier” and with their 4 Dreamliners they will argue it is a merger of peers…

this coupled with AS historically hiring very young and very long longevity would be very bad for our SLI. This doesn’t even factor in AS is all domestic (North America) and would continue to concentrate our focus on NB not WB flying.
