New bases / Expansion

Makes more sense that the Alaska buy out of Virgin. THAT clearly WAS restraint of trade, buying out a competitor, then getting rid of all their aircraft (Proudly an all Boeing fleet) and forcing a transcontinental commute on enough of their pilots that they lost many of them. And paid out $2.6 billion for an aircraft fleet of only 67 with another 35 or so on order (which they cancelled).

Thanks for this info! I believe the west coast will have a huge seniority shakeup with the merger. B6 has at least 15 LAX pilots who live in Vegas already, plus a few dozen commuters from DEN, PHX, SLC, ABQ, etc. who could prefer Vegas. LAX could double in size, but many will move to Vegas too for the taxes.
