Okay, I'm sure this is nothing, but the latest rumor over here at ALK is that a merger with HAL will be announced after the first of the year. As long as I can remember, ALK has been the object of a buy-out or merger with many airlines: AA, CAL, etc. Of course, as of March 12, 11% of our flying will be to the islands.

I just thought I'd share the latest rumor, since there's really nothing else going on at ALK, other than the possible 200 FA furloughs in January.

BRING BACK THE 106!
