WSJ now reporting "frenzied bidding" that ended with a $2.5B price tag.
"Alaska Air Group Inc. is expected to announce on Monday that it won the auction for Virgin America Inc., besting rival JetBlue Airways Corp. in a frenzied bidding process that culminated in a cash price of about $2.5 billion, according to people familiar with the matter."

Hemmm...i ain't no business expert- but if Alaska buys them, they will nibble all the good stuff and send the rest to the graveyard, including the Airbus fleets.

We're the last to know these things. We've gotten some non-answers from management and rightly so, FTC rules and all.
As far as my own opinion on the prospect... sure glad I upgraded this fall! What it looks like to me, just a line pilot, is an effort to gain market share and reduce competition. I think Alaska has a very competent leadership team and I'll back them until I see otherwise.
Eeeeyup.
Those that know, ain't talking.
Those that are talking, don't know.
Frustrating.

It's in the arbitrators hands now, we've had all the briefs, debates, counter briefs, written briefs ect. Now they just need to release the list.How's that SLI going?
We're going with the "we don't wear glasses" strategy.

Wanna bet that it won't happen darling?
If you want payment on that, I'm known to welch on my bets.
I still owe @Maximillian_Jenius a trip to the Sizzler. This is not a date.

Without knowing much about business, that seems excessive.

It is.
Virgin's market was valued at less than 2 billion...then a bidding war broke out.

That feeling when you way overbid on eBay and win.
