I can't believe that... JB hasn't had a plan in over a decade.

I give credit to jetBlue. They tried to buy VX first, in fact their initial approach was before Alaska approached us. Anyway, even if they didn't end up buying VX they sure as heck made it expensive for AS to do so!


Hopefully AS and VX merge in a couple years to become a decent 5th largest airline.

When you remove all of our outsourced flying by Skywest/Horizon we are a distant sixth. Jetblue operates their Embraer’s....we at Alaska prefer to outsource ours.

I wonder if they’d make all those Airbus start doing unneeded tech stops
