HA 764 mil. All airlines are pretty beat up right now. Depends on what the boards think they are worth though.

ALK shares down to $43. I wonder if SWA's alleged offer of $68 seems a little more attractive to the board.

How many airlines out there are capable of surviving if oil does indeed reach $200 per barrel particularly if it remains at that price for any length of time.
I have a feeling that Alaska will start deferring aircraft deliveries, accelerate the parking of the Airbus fleet, and shrink itself even more so into its Seattle safety zone, if that’s even possible.

The shrinkage will occur at the regionals, where frequency will be exchanged for gauge. Flight consolidation will be one of the ways to save fuel, and save pilots. Two birds, one stone.

Don't doom and gloom too hard. You'll give yourself a coronary.

Not with Alaska. There is no pesky scope clause to get in the way of parking the Airbus fleet ahead of schedule…If you are talking at the majors then you are dead on. United will do away with the rest of their 50-seaters for sure. CRJ’s in general will likely go the way of the DoDo bird. Helps fix the “shortage of Qualified pilots” at the regional level

Exactly right, I’d expect to see Alaska double down once again on their regional flying while shrinking mainline.
