That's an easy one. Delta has a hub in SEA now. American, only a few flights. The Anglers look at a OneWorld alliance as bringing passengers into the system. Dellta went for organic West Coast growth.

Did MIA for years. Full flights. When we pulled out we were told MIA was “just to expensive” to fly to. Landing Fees
Terminal Fees Jetway rent. I think they are just hoping to get the business travelers that have been lost to Delta to come back
We have been nearly here before with American...Seems more like an admission that Delta is having a significant impact in the PNW.
Not a growth move but a defensive move.

ouch, owned

Maybe Alaska pilots will get to flow to AA since we are now their PNW regional. :p

One can only hope...

With the recent court approval of the tmobile/sprint merger, it also opens the door for a major airline to follow suite. Do you think AS joining One World could be the first step for a possible implication of a future merger or acquisition?

I was thinking this as well...maybe AA is testing the waters and wanting to compete with Delta in the PNW?

Now AAG will be interchangeable. Simplicity.

Good analysis:

Hopefully American has strong code share and scope language. The kind that would require
the removal of the non-compliant E-175’s from Horizon Air’s fleet.
