That is what I am wondering. After reading this thread, and the relevant parts of the JCBA I am still not too clear.
If someone has a 6-month emergency fund in place, or perhaps a spouse with another good income, is this sick bank thing even an issue?
If there is some way your job at Alaska is in jeopardy if a pilot goes out on a medical leave, or benefits could be deactivated without a way to pay out of pocket (COBRA) to keep them going, that is what I would like to understand.

Anything?
There’s no way Alaska can keep going at the pace it currently is at. I’ve heard a pretty strong rumor that American is looking at buying Alaska possibly. Anyone else hear some good rumors?

The networks makes sense, but AA is very large, the largest legacy by many measures, so the trust busters would be leery. It would certainly depend on who was in the white house.

Now that Alaska has declared it's divorce from Delta ( AK didn't want a monogamous relationship that Delta thought was necessary) why would AA buy them? They now have the milk they want from AK (access to SEA/PDX) without worrying about buying the cow. The main reason they'd want to consummate a relationship is if they thought AK planned to cut them off of the code share arrangement.

What do you mean by “the pace it is currently at”? Super low growth rate? I’ve heard they are paying off the debt from the merger very quickly. Everything I see is sustainable and as much as I’d love to see a merger I don’t see any urgency, but I’m no expert.
