But you knew that.
I'm sure you'll tell me that the worlds second largest airline can feed it's own passengers in SEA. Sure, you can--with a bunch of money losing RJs.

As far as a merger goes, why would DAL want to pay for something they're already getting for free?

SLC-SEA may be served by both of us and that has yet to be seen. But if we pull our mainline off of it (which is full most days) and you guys are given those pax then you are enjoying growth at our expense, something you would not like if the roll were reversed. What AS are hearing from DAL guys is the frustration of seeing one's management walk away from routes that are profitable so others can fly them, and yours is not the only group that is doing more and more of flying that we once did. We are seeing continued career stagnation because of this and I just hope it does not get to the point where our two groups are pitted against one another for flying.
I ride on AS more than my own carrier and talk to AS guys all the time, have been treated very well on your planes, (except for hot cabins before departure) but do not want to see any agnst grow between our groups.
Respectfully,

DAL can't simply stop operating SLC-SEA-SLC and put their pax on AK. It violates our contract.
