You guys do know that Gordon Gecko is not a real person right? There's no "legal obligation." If a public company is not maximizing shareholder value enough then the shareholders can take their money and go somewhere else.

Here's an article about shareholders getting all upset because they felt Costco should treat its employees more like Walmart. Guess what nobody got sued let alone hauled off to the Hoosegow: https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB108025917854365904

The strange thing is, most ULCC "don't care about passenger loyalty/cost is king airlines" use the A320. Really, only one airline in that category uses the MAX.

I suspect it’s the same order, otherwise there’d be some sort of company fanfare about it.

Just the SEC filling formalizing the previous announcement.

SEC Filing | Alaska Air Group Inc


You can't really expect a news organization to let facts get in the way of a sensationalized story.

So is this OTZ’s reported bronze plan, or perhaps the silver plan? Any updates to the outlook OTZ/MEA?
