Ok so 737 is going first. Do you know if the plug is going to SFO or LAX on the A320?

SFO, likely.

SFO will undoubtedly be junior regardless of equipment for the rest of Alaska's existence. Just like United.

That's assuming, of course, that AS keeps an SFO base.

Isn't that why they bought VX?

They bought VX to keep B6 off the West Coast. That's why they over paid for it.

But that only works if they keep the gates... if they don't use the gates SFO will give them to someone who will.

It's pretty surreal to watch. Company says that the plan for our future is to "Win California", yet all we seem to do be doing is retreating mainline airframes to the PACNW and letting the regionals grow.

We now have more 320 departures out of SEA than we do out of LAX.....and there is no base in SEA for the 320.

Welcome to Alaska. Let Skywest and code shares do the flying, it’s cheaper. And don’t forget to sell those credit cards.
