Rumors are McConnell AFB was the source unit.

McConnell tail flash on the mishap aircraft. Crew could be from nearly any 135 unit.

DL could, and IMO should, absolutely crush them on these new routes without dripping enough red ink for anyone to even notice. This is a great example of code share abuse within a marginally otherwise acceptable code share. DL should pull its code on that flight as well as anything to any hub. They shouldn't get a blank check to hub raid us (or AA as well) on their terms with a waiting supply of another airline's pax on core routes that airline doesn't need them on.

I think that this is a power move on American's part. My guess is that they are pulling the strings on this and are pushing hard to have Alaska be exclusively a part of their alliance. This will further strain Delta's relationship with Alaska and force us to compete with them and hopefully retaliate.

I think this is good for us. Hopefully it causes mother-D to S or get off the pot in regards to Alaska (acquire them or compete with them).

And how do we know it wasn't done with DAL's direction or consent?

I thought Delta didn't make any money on passengers who fly on Alaska? Isn't the purpose of codesharing to feed our SEA international flights?

Ok... how do you embed youtube video?


I just right click on the URL of the desired video. Select copy, and then click on the Globe/link icon. This will open a window in which I paste the URL.

One of the few things I can actually do on this site.

Any alternate suggestions for wool pants? $100 at Abbotts is unappetizing.

According to our reps, Alaska is a necessary component of the Seattle hub. Without Alaska, our hub wouldn't be nearly as successful or as large-- we'd have to substantially downsize there. So I guess we are pretty much at their mercy as they tear into our route network. On a related note, I read where we are looking at reducing our Asia flying due to the strengthening Yen. I'm sure it has nothing to do with codeshares, JV's, or lack of widebody aircraft. Yeah, it's definitely the Yen.
