I'm not sure why they ordered them. But my confidence in ALPA is zero.

It definitely seems like an arrogant move. However, with the exception of DL, the other majors don't have or seem to be interested in ordering aircraft of that size. Im not really counting Airways' small E190 fleet.

Perhaps as a scope exchange since Alaska is already doing that flying.

We don't comment on positive things here. This forum is strictly for *****ing and moaning. It was well done and informative. It's hard to include foreign carriers because the tax and benefit structures in each country are very different.

How about some inflation-adjusted comparisons? Why the sandbagging? Isn't that the company's job?
