One thing some of you fdal old timers say is that when dal got a good thing in the past handed to them, or bought it, that sadly it didn't take long before we killed it. Whether that is true or not, IMHO I think it's best for Alaska airlines that they remain independent and in control of a rather unique product.
I'm concerned about it basically being a large jet dci though.

You have a good point. But it was years in the making for the Delta NWA to come. We just announced a codeshare with Alaska ... its going to be a very long time before we buy them ... IF we ever buy them.
And RA and team better be smart and have some good language in that contract so nobody else can purchase them and thus cut out our west coast feed.

Well, RA also states, "No Comment" in regards to Alaska last year. It was prefaced with, " I normally do not say this, but...."
It was during the investor call.
IMHO they like it, but with the code share that is allowed in our section 1, I do not see why we would need to buy them. Just my .02.
