I have yet to understand why we continuously move backwards in this time of hiring and new captains (over 500 according to people on this board). I actually dread AE's because I inevitably move backwards on every AE for nearly half of a decade. I was also exactly 40% in 2011 and am now 60%ish. Why exactly is this happening? at this rate you will be displaced out of LA by 2017. Does this concern and/or surprise you.

Just venting not trying to bring doom and gloom to the west. I'm sure it is better that seems.

I'm interested in seeing this in print. I've only heard rumors of rumors, but nothing actually stated for a nb SEA base. Where is this written?

Wolfe: Delta’s move into Boston could ultimately prove good news for JetBlue • 6:49 PM

Delta Air Lines (DAL) last week included Boston in its list of key hubs and markets for the first time, worrying JetBlue (JBLU) investors, but Wolfe Research thinks DAL’s decision could be good news for JBLU, much in the way it ultimately was for Alaska Air (ALK).
Wolfe believes JBLU management seeks a 7% return on investment capital this year, but it does not see it happening under the current strategy; the firm figures DAL's growth into Boston might help to force hard choices, as it did for Alaska Air.
ALK shares fell 26% from peak to trough in May-June 2013 on fears of competitive capacity growth, which led it to take action on fees and resulting in ALK stock gains doubling over the next year.
