DOH!

Alaska joining oneworld alliance. Weird, I thought they had to give up the AA stuff to be approved to merge with VX.

All I wanna know is when do the PUW overnights start for us AA dudes?

I don’t think this is indicative of a merger. But I’ve always said if Doug and his gang were going to snap up anyone else in the next round of consolidation Alaska makes a lot of sense. Almost zero competition on routes.

First they have to point it out on a map

Aren’t those the people that park the plane?

Nobody else thinks this might be response in kind to DAL’s move into MIA?

It's never the merger you're expecting...

Let’s merge and open PIT as a base again!

Just flew with some Pit based FA’s. Dinosaurs.

It’s still a FA base? I thought it a closed like the pilots did. How big is the base?

Yeah it’s a small base (hence the dinosaur seniority). Also Uber senior for the mechanics and gate agents and rampers and what not.

I believe it’s only within the last 4-5 years they made it a satellite base.

Oh ok so it was a recent change. That makes sense.

Operated SEA-PIT a couple months ago. So sad, it’s a complete ghost town airport now. Which is unfortunate because Pittsburgh itself has grown a lot recently. All 3 brothers are employed in the PIT area: one doc, one big pharma, and one accounting/finance PWC.

I flew with a pit crew. They were all hired before I was born. Seriously.
