All good. A "shallow" quake they're calling it. Still, 5.1 isn't anything to sniff at. They're starting to increase in frequency though. They seem to flow like meteor storms out here. We've had a few lean years. Let's hope this isn't the beginning of something larger....especially now that we're starting to kick some serious Eskimo butt.

I utilize the same technique, rsv or not.... The last morning/afternoon of a trip when I shave is the last time I shave before my next trip. Whether sexy stubble or full on wolfman result, that is what it is. I love making my neighbors think I'm an almost homeless alcoholic drug addict that can't get out of bed before noon on most days.

Wow. There was a "picket to titsburgh" moment if I ever saw one.

I think tsquare was only asking for the salt.

Funny...everyone went to the Gloopy creeativ riting skool

Just got done reading the CAPA report and it occurred to me, what if the big push is to build brand and name recognition in the Pacific Northwest before the merger and the Alaska name goes away.

Kind of put the kernel in everyone's mind that Delta was there before anyone else who would try to come in after a Delta/Alaska merge?

What is the gate availability for us in SEA? Any restrictions on our future growth there?

Yeah, I forgot who mentioned that same thought earlier but it really is ruining the fun of dreaming about mass organic expansion.

I guess it was all just a Seattle wet dream.


Get it? Seattle, always wet, dreaming about Seattle = Seattle wet dream.

So how old are these 1400 Alaska pilots?

Not only how old, but haven't they hired a significant amount if their seniority list (i.e. 20-25%) in the last six years? :eek:

Who knows? If you look at the S terminal where most of our flights are, you would think we were severely limited on our growth but the last 4-5 times I've been there, we've gone in and out of B gates and A gates I think...it's hard to tell how many gates the Port Authority is going to let us use.

Obviously if we are announcing this growth, we have a way of parking airplanes somewhere but how much more space has been offered/committed is a good question.
