Default ALK/HAL Merger Rumor

Okay, I'm sure this is nothing, but the latest rumor over here at ALK is that a merger with HAL will be announced after the first of the year. As long as I can remember, ALK has been the object of a buy-out or merger with many airlines: AA, CAL, etc. Of course, as of March 12, 11% of our flying will be to the islands.

I just thought I'd share the latest rumor, since there's really nothing else going on at ALK, other than the possible 200 FA furloughs in January.

BRING BACK THE 106!

BTW, what would the offspring of the ALK Eskimo and the HAL girl look like? Hopefully, he/she will look more like the HAL girl. The Eskimo has a face only a mother could love.

It doesn't matter, the ALK tail is just the HAL girl in forty years anyway.
