Or, Alaska can just wait for Sun Country to go Tango Uniform after the next downturn in the economy and pick up what few assets they have at yard sale prices without having to deal the hassles of a merger.

Or, Alaska can capitalize on Sun Country’s goodwill in the MSP community to introduce their product to the O&D market, while establishing themselves as more than just a PNW brand.

VA might have been the merger AS should have waited out. What did it gain the AS product/brand?

It would also allow management to send us back to arbitration for a new contract instead of bargaining for contract 2020.

Did you go to the same business school as B&B? They would probably enjoy talking to you about...culture.

Alaska has decided that they are big enough. growth of ASM only and that at 1-2% over the next 18 to 24 months. No airframe growth planned. Deliverys yes but returns as well. No need to merge or be merged. Apparently we will fly to new destinations but end service at others. Standard procedure in my 19 plus years...

Yep.... straight from the Q3 earnings report. Fly pretty much where we currently fly, increase profits from credit card sales, bag fees, and cutting expenses.

I didn't feel like starting a thread but just thought you guys should know our newest E175 (637QX) has an increased MTOW of 89K, and Alaska is keeping it that way...All the rest were at 86.

Don't worry, our scope clause will stop that...... oh wait

Who’s scope clause? AS’ or the airtight stuff you guys brought over with yoouuu... oh wait....

I’m sure they would have been like JetBlue and gotten in their first cba. How many CBAs has Alaska negotiated without getting scope?
