At a flight Ops meeting in January 80knots rumors you quoted plus the increased hiring was all discussed. A lot of this type of news is going to trickle out as RA wants to keep the growth news out of the media.
Watch for year over year numbers about growth to be in the 1 to 2% range. However when you dig deeper you will see it is a DECREASE in DCI of 7% and an increase in mainline in the 4% range.
Also some interesting notes came out of the LCA meeting that basically RA says we have tried to work with Alaska for the last 2 years and they have not wanted to play ball so the plan now is to grow SEA. The VP that was in charge of growing NYC is now in SEA. Gates are an issue but they are working on A and B and the satellites.
So connecting dots I am cautiously optimistic about organic growth.

Agreed with sailingfun on the flight standards letter... It seems they realize our desire to see the lcp meeting notes and have finally done it in a controlled manner.

My latest rumor is that the SEA 7ER guys are gonna fly the 75 into Juneau this summer instead of the 73N since the 75 is Cat C for circling mins..should be able to haul plenty of Halibut back to Seattle!

Keep an eye on two things; type (LR or ER) and temps. This time of year it's not too hot at 10pm there (departure time) as long as it's an LR you should be fine if you can find a seat, but in summer months it can be over 100F at 10pm....and that can be a problem even with the LR.
I flew 3 DXB trips last mo. and we were not payload optimized on any of them, but we were completely full on all of them out of DXB (not into) and left some non-revs behind. Some did get on however, but there were about 25 on the list.
One backup plan is to buy a Zed fare on Air France to Paris, then get on DL there.
If for some reason (MX usually) they put an ER on it, could be very tight getting out and they might payload optimize it. ER's are ships #7001-7008.
Check the ship numbers in iCrew, flight status the day prior. The 10 LR's are 7101-7110.

The stuff I posted was just word of mouth lower level rumors... and I didnt see the 321/739 RFP thing in there either. (thanks, t). That's not exactly a positive category replacement for the domestic 767!
