Alaska has plenty of 737s on order. They're also in the midst of trying to reconcile two pilot groups. Throw in a third? Not a wise course of action.
With VX's Airbuses, it actually might make more sense now for AS to grab B6.
But Sun Country? Highly unlikely, especially since they haven't fully digested VX yet.

What I don't understand is that they went to Boeing to tell them 'we are going to buy other airplanes because we can't buy yours.' Really?
"Welcome to Chevy Fleet Services, how can I help you?"
"I just wanted to stop in and say that I want a couple of more trucks for my fleet, but can't find any available, so I'm going to go to Ford instead."
"So- um- why are you here?"
"I just wanted to let you know."
"Thanks. Now please stop wasting our time."
