Any CEO retiring with all this consolidation going on is interesting.
In other news, Skywest is going to start issuing ATP ratings during recurrent training.

Here's the most pertinent part of the filing:
The company intends to finance the stock repurchases with cash on hand. The repurchase program authorizes Air Group to buy its common stock from time to time through open market purchases, negotiated transactions or other means, including accelerated share repurchases and 10b5-1 trading plans in accordance with applicable securities laws.
Alaska Air Group has repurchased 8.3 million shares of its common stock for nearly $262 million through similar programs over the past five years.

I mean don't get me wrong, IAH in the Brasilia was fun in all, I mean who doesn't want to spend all day, of a 110 degree day, taking an airplane with fire spitting APU that never cooled anything back and forth from IAH-HOU or EFD?

FTB,
The ATR was such a far, far, superior airplane to the E120. It amazed me how two aircraft designed about the same time could be so remarkably different.
Perhaps it was because we had the first E120's, but ours tended to do some really dramatic stuff and not in a good way.

I know if you do a reverse stock split it decreases the risk of a takeover. Doing a split can make it easier for a takeover because there will be more shares available to buy although the value of the corporation will still be the same.
