Why did we do the Jet A deal? To crack California.

My apologies if this has been asked before as I don't read the major section too often and I am too lazy to do a search....
I have heard a rumor more than once that Alaska airlines is gearing up to fly to Asia--Tokyo I heard. Not sure if the rumor including a new airframe or the plan was to fly HNL-NRT(HDE) with the mighty 737...seems like a steaming pile of balderdash but thought I run it by all you experts.
Thanks in advance.

I remember seeing an Etops map during recurrent a few years ago that had the -800 reaching Tokyo. Maybe that was a little "agressive", but I wonder what the 900-ER's will be able to do?

At first I thought this was a crazy idea, but then again, when I was in newhire class 5 years ago, I thought Alaska flying to Hawaii was crazy too...

Oh and the SWA pilot would have liked one of the FAs.

Well it was Steve Wynn, his crew, and whoever else travels with him. 
True. But with the way some are outfitted, I dont know how much lighter they are.

The alaska crowd is gettin big in their britches...I think only VA, Mesa, Spirit and Allegiant are smaller than you guys...more likely Skywest will buy you..your leadership does not really like having their own employees....hope you have good successorship language in that contract next to your iron-clad scope.

Guys,
Flew the C-40 (737-700) all over the Pacific with the Navy. We could make if eastbound (depending on payload) but westbound was very hard to do with the winds. I doubt you could schedule this service reliably on a 737. Note - Guys have flown PHNL to KNIP (Jacksonville) on ferry flights.

What are you using for gauging our size? Airplanes? Pilots? Couple months ago we were the 3rd largest airline in the country by market cap, behind delta, southwest & United/continental. I'm not sure where we stand right now but our stock is still rocking so I don't think anyone will be scooping us up anytime soon.
