Outsourcing is not good. It is a short term fix to a failed business model. When you need to survive you do business deals that will offer up some sort of cash flow until (you hope) someday you are financially strong enough to retreat from your mistakes.
Like I have stated, there will be a time when airlines are shown that outsourcing their product, (not just SJS but code shares and JV's) will result in the business failing.
JAL would have been a good example and Alaska may put a huge dent in to DAL's West Coast Model. DAL better be mindful of the AS deal or they will get burnt by all of the flying they are allowing them to perform. (we do not have the assets to cover that flying so if the code (feed) becomes unavailable we stand to let many international flights die on the vine)

I was starting to get worried that a Republic/F9 thread was going to make it over three pages without someone pointing out how silly we were for "choosing" Republic over Southwest. That was a close one.
