Odd statement indeed.

Best flying outside of Alaska...
Hard to name a major city in CA not beginning with an "S" (Fresno)
Including LA-OC area. (Santa Anna KSNA)
Same in WA, UT.

One thing about NK management is they know how to keep a secret!

Hope to see us focusing more on the Western market.
Rockies to Pacific region has many routes in which we could successfully compete.
Any rumors on that?
AA has flown MCO-MIA for much longer than we have been in MCO-FLL. That route is operated during peak periods even with 763s (before the A300 was on it consistently) that usually is on a through somewhere down south and the rest are usually a mix of 738/752/321 aircraft. As you can guess its almost all feed traffic.

In fact if you glance at the data for 10/2000 vs. 10/2014 you will find out that AA is the only carrier left on the route and frequency is down around 25% (seats are up though as its been upgauged. You also had the likes of CO/US/UA flying that route back in 2000. Combine stats show that Ops/week are down between 75% and ASMs/Seats are down roughly 33% on a 13yr compare.

If you are wondering about MCO-FLL then we are down about 93 weekly frequencies, 75% capacity and 66% in ASMs/seats losing DL/WN/CO in that same time period.

Intra-Florida flying in general isnt what it used to be, youve seen various frequency draw-downs across the board, most recently there was a size-able draw-down by WN who cut RSW-MCO, TPA-JAX, JAX-FLL, TPA-EYW, MCO-EYW and ECP-MCO. Some back-filled by 3M and most recently B6 jumping into the I-95 corridor but its chump change compared to years past.

What a nice compliment . Quick story about that...I once went through a merger where the DOJ came in the morning of the announcement and started dumping everything off of my laptop to see if there was any leaking/colluding. You really have to be careful with that kind of stuff, which isnt to say I love reading the rumors on here or airliners.net as they are fantastic entertainment
