We both love TX and SAT is as good an airport as any to commute from, but even flying positive space back and forth to training sucks. I don't want to do it for a lifetime.

I tells me that Delta is making a good business decision. ... make that a great one.

Shareholders and customers alike will benefit.

I was at a meeting with Anderson last year. He is funny and confident and arrogant. Soft spoken and casual.

When he spoke about The SEA hub he turned dark. He said we are planting a flag in SEA. It is our hub. We will never leave.

Then back to some funny stuff about Parker.

Look, I'm dang glad they did what they did. Dang glad. In the extremely unlikely event I'm ever sitting next to your CEO at a bar, I will buy him a beer and thank him sincerely. He's done more to get DL pilot's rear ends into DL flight deck seats than just about anyone.

So...because they made a business decision, in attempt to stay independent, that makes them insolent? Ok, got it.

Like many others, I would take that bet in a heartbeat... wrt west coast major hub, LAX completely fragmented with no room for gate expansion, SFO not viable, PDX or SEA only real options...SEA is it, and its going to get bigger faster and for a long, long time...

You're on gloopy. Here are my only rules:

(1) Five years from today delta must be at least at their current level of ops in SEA, with no company announcement of a scale back that would take them back below the levels of operations as of December 12, 2014, and

(2) James R. Hatcher must still be alive and well on this forum. Unfortunately at the rate the mods are killing my user names off, I doubt I will be active under this name in five years. If i am, then if the rules of (1) occur and delta is at or above today's operational level, you win. If not, I win and the losing party gives $100 to the winners favorite charity. Deal?

Anyone know off the top of their head how many departures Delta ran today, Dec. 12, 2014? Seems that is the number we need to keep track of for this bet.

So, obviously, you don't want to make the bet...
