I hope so. My fear is that WN will make a very strong offer for Alaska here in the near future knowing what the poison pill entails. Reason being that if we lost that lift via code share it would once again make a huge hole in our route network that we could not fill. That scares me. It is what scares me from a corporate perspective. We put our faith in a business deal with another public company that could be bought, and as a result undermine our business plan.
I guess we may need to get burned by this for the company to learn. Poison pills only go so far.
Good perspective. It's hard to understand why we continue to be so shortsighted and loose control of our product. I've been saying this since day one at Delta. I guess none of us will ever get it.
