100% of no chance that
there would be a merger/acquisition with Jetblue. They have nothing that Alaska Airlines wants. And for the mist part Alaska has nothing Jetblue wants.....They have a very small presence on the west coast and are no threat. We dont haul their kind of passengers and they dont haul our kind. Alaska Airlines leadership is quiet and conservative old school business. Jetblue is not.....I hope that I could escape into retirement before such a colossal blunder could occur.

I'm not saying it hasn't been to their advantage in the last 80 odd years, and one could say that it has been especially so in this pandemic, but I feel the competive forces that will eventually make another rally against our castle walls, stand a big chance of breaching our competitive moat, unless we adapt to the changing landscape.
They came real close the last time.

Hasn't there been many quiet, conservative, old school companies that went out of business, or were acquired by their more innovative competitors because they refused, or were unable to adapt to the changing climate in their respective industries?

Covid might have bought them a reprieve from DL, but they might need to worry about WN now.

Yes this, their philosophy and model has worked OK for a long time, but that unfortunately does not guarantee future results. Stagnation, or God-forbid shrinkage, are will-known paths to oblivion in this industry. If they are small enough, and the competition is big enough, the competition can AFFORD to loose money in order to under-cut and drive them out.

All Sears and Roebuck had to do was embrace the internet to put their catalog online and Amazon would never have existed. But management said “We’ve used the mail order catalog for over 100 years, we know what we’re doing.”
Alaska is Sears. The writing is on the wall. Will they embrace the new or do what they’ve always done?
