This year they will have added six new routes out of pdx, most overlapping alaska routes.

Sun Country Airlines in pdx

That’s because everyone knows Alaska is weak. I think suncountry is also going to fly sea-anc as well as lax-hnl

Weak, maybe, depends on who you ask. Stronger than VX ever was, indisputable. Cheers

Not sure why that would matter at this point, hopefully Alaska has some viable plan for the future other than essentially no growth for the next few years outside of Skywest and Horizon. Once Southwest is finished picking us apart along with Delta, United, JetBlue, etc. it wont be pleasant for a lot of people regardless if you were at Alaska or Virgin.

We’re all in this together now, knockknock. It’s not an As/VX thing, it’s an Alaska management be clueless thing. What other airline is closing bases, cutting routes, parking planes, and letting other carriers walk all over them?

His feelings are hurt that his airline is gone after a mere 9+ years. The wounds are manifesting in the form of lashing out at all things AS. I’m just being his huckleberry and reminding him that as bad as he thinks it is here, “HERE” still exists and is much stronger than the place he came from. Mostly just poking the angry bear

I agree with you on being on the same team and let’s fix it, but it seems like you try to squeeze in as many shots as you can in as many treads as you can out of spite and nothing else.

They are flying those routes. They have added out of PDX: RNO, PHX, PSP, LAS, HNL. I would guess SC will add more routes to Alaska, Hawaii and to and from the PNW.

The new VP of network and pricing came from Alaska. He knows that market.
