Developing story today in the B6/NK merger trial. Apparently JB had plans to buy Alaska back in 2019.

This is not news… except to the 30. DA had plans to buy AS, AS had plans to buy JB, AS had plans to buy HA, WN had plans to buy AS, UA had plans to buy AS. Most of these plans never materialize, someone makes an inquiry, tests the waters, explores the possibility. This is usually a CEO golfing excursion. Inherently, control and price cause these deals to fall apart. You all laugh on here because you’re stupid, but AS’s board this year has fielded inquiries from almost every major airline, that’s the truth.

As early as 2016, I was told AS and JB had the same endgame, just different ideas of who would be in control. AS+JB+HA+NK

That’s a lot of 737s to park.

I’m a current AS pilot, I have about 20 years left at AS. I will retire a 787 CA…guaranteed! Keep asking your dumb questions though, you are a strange dude!

Simply following up on your BS claims. What I can guarantee is that you would never call me a “strange dude” to my face. I’d be more than willing to meet you any time you like to discuss your merger or anything else you have to say.

Oh, I most certainly would… but yeah your own post tells everyone on here how strange you are🙄🙄🙄😂😂😂

I think you should be more concerned about your current charges there at PDX… those are pretty serious! Mr. Super Chill VX pilot that everyone loves to fly with🤢🤢😂

Union people have told me exactly who you are, and the trons back that up. Your claims ^^^^ cannot be accurate.

I'm not going to dox you, but misrepresent yourself again here and you're gone.
