but I mean...thats only a few routes we cut last year. No biggie[/QUOTE]
With aircraft in long storage, AS deployed aircraft on routes that would generate the best margins, not the sexiest city pairings. As aircraft are all brought back out and new Max aircraft arrive, AS will deployed into many new markets along with increasing frequency to markets that show robust demand. JFK-LAX was a node to AAL and OneWorld. AS could make money on all the above routes, but they could make more in others…. We are always about making more. Remember, we are a smaller airline, with only so many jets, those jets will be used in markets that produce the highest yields…. This is a good thing and should not be difficult to understand. Just because two big cities are paired together, that doesn’t necessarily equate to the best margin, or the best use of assets…., sometimes it works best for you, makes the most sense to you, but not so great for yields.
Last year was a weird year for almost every airline, wouldn’t you say🤔 And what were our margins compared to every other airline 🤔🤔

This is not hard or difficult to understand, but for many of you a 30 degree bank and maintaining altitude is almost impossible, balancing a checkbook….impossible!
And yes, the HA merger has died with BT stepping down as AS’s COTB

I don’t see AS merging with UA, I do see UA decisions over the next few months dictating this next round of consolidation.

Now you’re throwing out insults about how your coworkers fly airplanes?
Please elaborate.

Dude, that whole thing is a lie. As much as management would love us to believe we will bankrupt the airline if we have a good contract, it just isn’t true. If we were to make significant gains in our compensation our company would still have some of, if not you he best margins in the industry. So no, the “Alaska discount” contributed very little to our profit margins.
