Rumor: Alaska eyeing US Airways

[BeCareful!]

Thanks.....yeah, we know the lyrics

Shuttle to AA, CLT to SWA, PHL Int'l to Virgin/VA, PHL dom and DCA to reconstituted AWA which retains PHX.

East pilots to STREET. Splitting a diamond like the east required skill and concentration. And a sledge hammer. Cue Peter Gabriel song

Don't worry Seham has had a plan in mind for this very scenario. In fact he named his yacht in the Caymans after it.

Hers's some rumor fodder. A little birdie said Alaska is eyeing US Airways again. The problem is the East pay snap back. They want the East coast assets but not the East wage snap back. Probably means they have to wait until the whole company tanks and then hope they can outbid Southwest (yeah right). Too bad for the West pilots.

Yeah! I heard the same rumors from my cousin gardener al robaski, up- state new york, That Alaska will merge with Usairways, Keep the name (USAIRWAYS) and USAPA will staple every alaska pilot to bottom. :laugh:

Ugg. This is by far the ugliest batch of horse-puckey I've seen in a long time.

Come on people...if you are going to start rumors, let's at least TRY to make them somewhat plausible.

Oh my good this is like trying to talk to a three year old. How many times do I have to repeat myself? Alaska wants the EAST flying. To AVOID being aquired by a larger airline. It would be ALASKA PURCHASING US AIRWAYS. It's really true most airline pilots are stupid. No wonder management finds you all so easy to manipulate.

 

[GuppyWN]

Good Lord. I hope not. Or maybe I do.

Gup

Green banana: if "faux new is fairly unbalanced," what is ABC,NBC,CBS, MSNBC, PBS and NPR?

They do not tout them selves as "Fair and Balanced"

I don't think we misunderstood who was doing whom, it was most Alaska pilots probably don't want any part of USAir either way.

We're "North of Expected" after all.
