My problem is you calling them rumors. They’re not. If you can’t take his info along with your daily recommended dose of sodium, that’s on you.

You hear something, then rush to whisper it into the nearest set of ears, not waiting to see if what you've heard has legs. I think it would behoove you to let the next hot tip, simmer in the pot a little longer before you dish it out to the pilot group....because as it stands you're 0-3 on MnA predictions.

Ok, I think I got this. “Don’t post a reliable rumor on an anonymous rumor site, because you don’t know 100% it will happen.” 🤔

Well everyone, in other news, the world is flat!

so not rumors but must be taken with a grain of salt??.....soooo, embellished truths??? The definition of a rumor is: 1. talk or opinion widely disseminated with no discernible source. 2. A statement or report current without known authority for its truth. I can't hold your hand on this beyond this post but my point is, he speaks in absolutes about things that, as you graciously pointed out, are not absolute..... do you not see the difference between, "AS is looking at making moves should the JB/NK deal go through" vs. "AS will be making a cash offer to buy JB in 3 weeks" or "Brad likes the idea of acquiring HA" vs. "AS will be buying HA by the end of summer"....

so even you admit they're rumors? My point is that you're not reporting reliable rumors because your info keeps coming up short. It's not "reliable" until proven true. You said HA by summers end. You said cash offer for JB in 3 weeks 5 weeks ago. You said it looked like you were gonna be wearing a SW uniform soon a few months ago. Non of these things happened. The way you explained it above, is more reasonable. There were possibilities of things happening but none of them did because....things changed. So why rush out and spread "reliable rumors" that can change at the drop of a hat?

Why am I not surprised you think the world is flat...

I guess I should take my house off the market now that I know this isn't 100% reliable information.

I prefer hearing the speculation knowing it's just internet board talk.

I find everyone's double standards on OTZ's predictions pretty hilarious. Now that Seattle might be in jeopardy, people are suddenly hostile.

The responses to OTZ posts are based on the specific audience. Alaska closing SFO is drastically different than United buying AS. Still stands that he’s just throwing out guesses. Or I guess the BM and BT just casually told OTZ about everything going on behind closed doors. Makes sense.

Why would Seattle be in jeopardy? It's the only reason any other airline would have any interest in an acquisition of, or merger with, AS. Especially UAL. It's the only major hub a company, other than maybe DAL, wouldn't have to give up gates in.

Here’s what it boils down to. Is United, American, Delta, or Southwest buying Alaska? Almost certainly not. Is Alaska merging with JetBlue, Sun Country, Hawaiian, Avelo, Spirit, Frontier, or Allegiant? Probably not. Have there been discussions about any of the above? Probably. Is Alaska going to slog along trying to exist as they have all along? Most Likely.
