Fair enough, Zap. There’s probably much truth to that. I think those that were around to observe the last one are probably smart enough to take the next one to arbitration. Either way, I genuinely hope you get to fly with your favorite a$$**le soon 😉

Bahahahaha. That’s hilarious (you poor bastard).

I do think its hysterical that OTZladner can claim he knows what the future holds, can drop hints on a public forum and it doesn't at all violate any NDAs or SEC insider trading violations.

he's placed bets on every horse on the track....one of them has to be a winner right? You can't be wrong when you say everything and anything can possibly, maybe, happen and when it doesn't, just say, "things changed"..... In the last 3 months, we've been 3 months away from buying HA, being bought by SW, buying JB, growing, shrinking, and shrinking while growing. If OTZ truly had any inside info, he wouldn't say anything. Those with the most to say typically say the least. I noticed he's generalizing now and just saying, "things are going to change soon". Can't be wrong when you state the obvious.

But since we're all placing bets, I'm putting chips on a Sun Country merger. AS gets to needle DAL in MSP, they're small enough to digest and allows AS to maintain control while keeping potential takeovers at a distance, the 800 freighter conversions could fold into the prime cargo deal, Sun Country just pulled out of HA which could be some sort of pre-divestiture and last but not least.....it would throw our contract into an eventual arbitration decision. Disclaimer: I have no inside knowledge and this is just my opinion! Just in case there's a SYmidwest out there ;)

hahaha well, I'm putting my house up for sale on May 18th, the same house that il Duce told me (In person) was ok buy in NY after the merger announcement. So my guess? Is that whatever merger happens will happen exactly when I accept an offer

I believe that is more accurately known as "Carebell".
Did anyone else notice the airline press releases on masks? Every airline made a professional statement, just like a business should. Alaska had to throw in that we should be kind to one another during this difficult transitional time. A group hug over mask removal, how caring.

Well their hubs include four of the largest metro-scale safe spaces in the country so there's that.

Which is ironic, seeing as AS is the airline that put out a company wide email banning us from hugging each other in the terminal as it was a holdover from the VX days.
