No more ATA pax biz

Since that's where Hawaii flying is, they'll keep it initially. Be ready to move or jump over to FedEx/UPS though, if you want to stay in ANC.
 
Alaska? They're gonna be all 737 soon. Many of them even have those pretty winglet things.

Doesn't surprise me that they'd get out of the passenger biz. They had a decent operation, but ultimately AirTran and Southwest had a hard-on for taking them out at Midway.

That's what I'm speculating. Alaska currently carries 5-7% of ALL U.S. traffic to Mexico. They serve YVR and have authority to serve YYC and YEG. Their Hawaii service is fully booked through sometime next year.

They'll have 116 737s and 1500+ 737 pilots by the end of the year. All of which can be fairly seamlessly assimilated by the SWA system. No problems with list mergers, since SWA isn't ALPA.

And there are persistent rumors about it on BOTH properties.

You never know.

And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Dom too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

Ask yourself who flies 737s, has a developed Mexico/Canada/Hawaii route structure and is ripe for the picking?

Couple of weeks ago you were sure Delta was gonna merge with Alaska. Now it's SWA??!??

Don't run against any Republicans for president. They'll nail you to the wall for flip-flopping. :)
