The ship that apparently United was supposed to save… oh wait, Southwest. Nope, Alaska buying Hawaiian… hmm I can’t remember. But November is right around the corner, we’ll see. Or we won’t.

Nope, you missed the point. AS is not going into the dirt, I am very confident AS will continue in some form long into the future from now. “Some” will ride their career to 64 years and 364 days, when maybe walking away a lot sooner would have provided the most wealth and a better life. They are not riding this company into the dirt, just their career, long past sunset.

UA, HA, maybe AA… Yes, I think come November you will have your answer.
My current betting odds are
UA 4 to 1
HA 3 to 1
AA 25 to 1
Independent 5 to 2

I heard the old south bend gov is 100% against any mergers… including BLUIT

The big 4 AA/DL/UA/SW own ~84% of the country’s capacity. Why would they be allowed to take over even more of the remaining ~16% ?

You've answered your own question. They let 84% of the industry consolidate, why wouldn't they allow more?

I don't know... There are other, larger industries that are more consolidated than the airlines. Cellular service providers have consolidated to just three major players. Oil companies: four. Airliner manufacturers: one

3 months?! Holy sh!t! Are they sending you to the moon?
Edit: Just saw the breaks, guess that’s not that bad/

So, now there’s a 96.15% probability AA and is do M&A, United M&A is 80% and 75% HA or stay independent?

Thats your latest if I understand your calculation?

🤭🤔 really ? Try a 40% independent, 34% HA, 25% UA, and a less then 1% chance of AA

Maybe stay away from any betting tables!

Question; will Alaska pilots ever get a contract that is comparable to UA, DL?
In regards to pay, retirement, scope & scheduling.

( obviously, never with FedEx or UPS )

If not, why would anyone apply there?

Asking for a friend………..
