If this new United-Jetblue partnership actually ends in an acquisition I could see Alaska and American doing the same. Considering the same alliance and not too much route overlap. Basically already on 'phase 2'. Wouldn't say it's likely but could be possible if there's another round of mergers.

OTZ Can clarify this for us.

No, I don't, not at all, but that doesn't mean the environment right now is one in which labor can reasonably expect big gains either. Bad environment now, and likely to get worse before someone with a vocabulary of more than 100 words is able to come clean up the mess... So if anything, doesn't that mean it's us with our b**ls in the vice?

Well…..at the end of the day I don’t know a single person who DOESN’T have their metaphorical b**ls clamped in vice-grips of some kind at this particular period of history….. So I will call your riposte a fair one!

Hopefully we won’t have more trans-con flying farmed out to American.

Looks like SEA could be getting smaller for the 737 as well:

you don’t read to good do you? Show me in the article where it says 737 will be reduced? It says sone connecting flights will go to PDX instead of SEA “TO FREE UP ROOM!!!” Read that again FREE UP ROOM! Room for what you ask? More 737 flights from other locations to fill the WB flying.

I wonder if the number 197.8 means anything to you?

“As Alaska expands its international destinations, it will shuffle some connecting flights that would have routed through Seattle to stop in Portland instead.“

Have you considered blood pressure medicine? Or perhaps meditation? You might want to calm down a little bit.

Plus it's worth noting that the 330s have a lot of wing you'll have to fit in there. 198 feet. So "freeing up room" might be literal.

Farmed out to American ?!! Are you joking? American has farmed out the entire west coast to Alaska. Unlimited code share?!? After the runway extension in San Jose we handed the whole airport over to Alaska. LAX-SEA,PDX,etc we've lost all mainline. PHX-SEA used to be 6+ mainlines a day. Now two RJs and Alaska has doubled their flights. Farmed out to American? Hahahahhahahhahah.....
