Early on I think AS had significant interest in B6, something fell apart early February of 2020, Alaska then pivoted toward the pacific when covid happened. In the last few days AS has renewed its push towards HA.

Sell them and codeshare with an Asian airline.

After the last 12 mo’s I am so happy we are back here, talking mergers and growth. From the the top, Alaska management acknowledges how “sexy, elegant, romantic and timeless” the Hawaiian brand is, I think it stays in one form or another. Fast, but let’s be honest, that is a relative term. I think done by next summer. Announced and agreed upon awaiting DOJ??? I really think that is a wide open window. Yes, I really think this is about to go down.

I beg to differ... It can make it all the way from BWI. We'll have a DIRECT service from BWI to Sydney, so it'll be the same flight number and here's the routing:

BWI-CMH-MDW-OKC-DAL-HOU-AMA-LAS-OAK-OGG-HNL-MAJ-KWA-PNG-BNE-SYD

The more pressing question will be what time the van is tomorrow in Herb?

I find it unlikely that we will have ratified a TA by then, whenever "then" is. Would that mean we can look forward to having another arbitrated contract shoved down our throats if Hawaiian in fact happens?

I’m not saying that the information regarding Hawaiian is incorrect, it very well may be totally correct, but I’d be surprised if the other players out there would just let that go down without some sort of response such as pursuing Hawaiian themselves or Alaska for that matter.
