I'd bet this route will do well. SKW already is flying the -900 into PSC.

And QX loses market share in yet another city. Great strategy from the top, "defend our markets and don't expand anywhere unless its an undiscovered destination". Guess that explains why they'd rather park the airplanes in the desert.

Behind the scenes, Alaska Air Group takes directions from the old NWA and the New Delta.

That's interesting. I remember airlines from all over the world coming into Moses. Not for scheduled service obviously...just for flight training and such. Especially JAL. Boeing has/had a big presence there as well. I guess I never realized NWA and UAL both had pax service. I just remember hopping on the Horizon Dash 8 over to Seattle. I honestly believe the flight over the Cascade Mountain range on a perfectly clear day is the most beautiful flight there is.

I couldn't agree with you more!! I love jumping over to Seattle or Olympia in my father in laws Bonanza. It's so beautiful! Actually, JAL just pulled out of MWH. They finished their 40 contract and off they went. I had the opportunity to go to the closing ceremonies. Driving around in Moses isn't the same anymore without the big boy 74 flying around.
