I think SK and UAL may actually play the most significant role in our independence over the next few months. SWA is tight and SK has shown himself to be super aggressive with access to significant liquidity. I think this will churn for a bit. As the legacy airlines gain visibility of Q3, hammers are likely to drop.

Or, it could be no one. The Russia/Ukraine mess could drive record high oil prices and/or Covid could create a truly deadly variant. Or, International travel doesn't come back and the big airlines bleed indefinitely. There are many unknowns.
In aviation, whenever it seems like the tide has turned and the pilots are in a winning position, the gods send down a crushing blow, a blow harder than all previous blows. The pilot shortage is like the lost city of gold. That's why we need to lock in a great contract this time around. Who knows what will happen.

That's an interesting idea. No matter who makes the move, if one party is interested in merging with AS then all parties become interested. A bidding war begins. Alaska fits nicely into a lot of airlines networks: UAL, AA, SWA, and B6. It could be anyone.

Should chisel this in stone. It's the 11th commandment. "Thou shalt not celebrate prematurely lest the gods of aviation misfortune reach down and smite thee."
True story. Read it at the Elegante.

Yeah ‘cuz the board holds us pilots in such high esteem they give so many F’s about what we think.
No wait. Actually they only care about OTZ. They tell him stuff because he’s so amazing.
Oh wait…. that sounds like malarkey too.
