Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

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?

And, by putting pressure on their market share, their share price goes down and we buy them at a discount.

I still think Hawaiian makes more sense. If we are worried about the Narita hub losing its strategic advantage, wouldn't Hawaii and some more heavies make for an ideal staging area for overflights into Asia? Not to mention the route authority Hawaiian has to all those Asian cities. (Although we probably have route authority to those Asian cities we aren't using right now.)

That is a good question. I didn't mean to get a SLI argument going, but maybe an Alaska guy could give us a drive by answer and prevent a lot of speculation.

As far as gates, couldn't they extend out the A gates like they did at T4 at JFK? That would give extra gate space and maybe all of our customers wouldn't have to take the train. I love going out of the B gates there.

I'm waiting for a current Sen List, but as of Jan 07 they have hired apx 119. That's only 8%. I'll edit when I get current list.

I really sucked. :D

But I really felt like I was doing better. I mean six years on Douglas products, I know how to give good flap.

You must've taught something that stuck; I've been on the Douglas for 6 years too....:confused:

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.

Great... just when I've sold my house and have the move set up to take us to the OC in may! :eek:

As long as I don't end up doing a "John Cusack in 2012", it's all good! :cool:

As far as I know, a customs facility is supposed to be built beneath the A gates and we are going to get quite a few a gates. I think the 5 year plan includes what you are talking about with regards to expanding A concourse. Also include is either a tunnel or a bridge connecting A and S.
