Where is DAL going to let Alaska the 73-900ER
Curious, but with the current code share out on the west coast, where is DAL going to allow Alaska to fly the 900-ER??
Thoughts? |

Um, say what? I think DL will be getting 100 737-900ERs. I don't know if AK will be getting any. They currently have 737-900s, but I don't think they are the ER version.

Well isn't that special........I would guess they would replace the 738s that are flying to Hawaii on the more poplular routes, and the 738s will replace 737-400s that are probably going away. Will they ever be used from SEA to Japan? I wouldn't think so. I know the current 737-900s that aren't ERs are not currently scheduled to go to Hawaii, so maybe the 739ERs will? Their 737-400s are their oldest planes. |
For clarification: Delta announced SAN-Hawaii, but never flew that route (western excepted). Just guessing, but DL realized they couldn't make money and abandoned the route before the first flight. AS promptly filled in (I'm sure DL colluded, but that's speculation, because collusion would be illegal). Most likely, AS is making money.
900er's are speculated to not be etops. Most likely will fill in on slot controlled routes. Perhaps EWR, BOS or DCA. Route swaps are speculation at best. We've flown one to two flight to MEX, GDL and PVR for the better part of a decade. We also used to fly LAX-CUN, but apparently DL can do it better. What can be said about "our alliance" is that there is a lot collusion. If you truly want an end to it, you would have to force a merger. Do the unions have that much power... |

Uh...I think the title and first post have "flamebait troll" written all over.
