Don’t kid yourselves. Angle Lake knows exactly what they are doing.
The buses were gone before the ink was dry. They are just waiting for the right time to break the news. Can’t announce something like that during summer or holiday travel seasons. They know sick calls will go through the roof. Damage control.

Sure about that? A reliable birdy said the bean counters love the 321. I don’t think they know what to do. I think they thought it was a slam dunk with Boeing, but then reality set in.

That is correct. But even though they love the 321, my guess is they have no desire to run 2 fleet types at this regional airline. It will only be used as leverage to get the price they want for the Boeings.

There is no "major national" and technically Alaska, JB and SWA go international. BTW all the airlines you listed are majors by definition.... Not sure why we keep trying to muddy waters with weird and nonstandard definitions.

Size of the airline has been a much more effective (unfortunately) tool in determining pay than labeling it a national, major or legacy ever has.

ALK is a regional.

Curb your enthusiasm about that 4% growth next year. Tilden mentioned in his E-Mail this morning that they are cutting that back to 2%.
