Scope scope scope, what else is there to say? Basically we will be the regional feeders to AA even more now.

I don't really see it as good thing. To me it spells out that they have just secured a feed contract for AA. Our growth will be marginal and really only in seat capacity and RJs. We will become the west coast feed and that is secure enough for our management. Back to being the PNW regional and all comfy and secure from the big bad airline world. Just shows that without scope that legacy AS pilots seemed not to want all these years. You get screwed.

I imagine more of the narrow body flying will be shifted to Alaska. Or were you talking about the Bangalore and LHR flights? AA has almost no north/south flying to Seattle.

I don’t see anyone’s domestic flying being shifted to one another, but rather growth for both. This creates connections for AA passengers in SEA, and connection for Alaska passengers in places like CLT PHL ORD and largely MIA. I see Alaska adding flights to MIA to connect into our large SA/Caribbean network.

Yeah I agree. Cautiously optimistic that it’s a win win.

Would that mean Alaska doing a split between MIA/FLL or pull out off FLL altogether and shift to MIA?

"But will I get credit for Alaska mileage on my AA account like I used to?" This is all that's important to most passengers.

Wasnt it just a few years ago Delta wanted Alaska to join the Skyteam alliance? Alaska did not want to join that, but now they want to be in One World?

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.
