A mixed fleet could continue indefinitely, or we may quickly return to a single fleet type, depending on many variables, all of which are being worked out right now. Rest assured though, if the economy begins to struggle at all, we will quickly move to zero growth and a single fleet type.
I would say the safe money is placed on a return to a single 737 fleet type over the next 6-10 years.

6-10 years? Alaska will be swallowed up before that. There’s no more hiding out in the little PNW. Either they’re gonna put their big boy britches on and play ball or they’re gonna end up playing behind the visitors dugout playing cup ball.

JFK base closed August 31st....
How many times have I made stuff up?
You all laughed and made fun of Me... AJ telling me to read the contract and that obviously I was an idiot.
I am very sorry to those affected. I really was only trying to help and give you a heads up.
I think that is why this board is so screwed up you tell the truth and all the children cuss you out.

Effective September 1 before the final integration. Fold the Airbus pilots into the Airbus bases. Minimize cross training. Very easy to predict what this company is going to do regardless of their statements about “studying” this or that. Now do you believe us when we say that the no Airbus leases are going to be renewed.

Even the old timers should be concerned. This is a ton of reorganizing, displacing, and probable reduction to deal with.

I don't know why everyone is so blase about the parking of the Airbusses. It's a huge reduction in mainline airframes that will have to be replaced. Not sure why everyone sucks at math, but Alaska doesn't have enough MAX orders on the books to make up the difference.

Uhm, you sir also need to read a little more thoroughly or not just repeat what you hear from others. Alaska has plenty of firm orders and options to replace all of the air buses and grow some on top. Maybe start with counting to 20, you can use your fingers and toes that way.

Here. Educate yourself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska...#Current_fleet
43 incoming orders. We have 63 A319/A320s. Hopefully you recognize that's about 20 short. I even used my fingers and toes.
