New CEO at Alaska

[CesnaCaptn]

Brad Tilden is replacing Bill Ayer as CEO of AAG. Is this good, bad or neutral? It seems to me, he's the reason we got our contract hammered out sooner rather than later.

I've also heard Brad is pro-growth.

Its good. Whatever else you say, you have to agree Tilden is a financial genius.

Tilden is a good thing. Hopefully the next contract gets hammered out quickly and equitably. Tilden seems to work that way.

This is good. Brad is a good man. I would not be surprised if we have a new contract done before we ever even get to openers next spring.

I've met BT before and I am actually excited, for once. Now we still have the BOD to deal with, but i think that BT will be alot better. In his interal release today he spoke about how we have to be aggressive. Hopefully, he won't cast the doom and gloom shadow as much as others.

Congrats to B-Rad. New CEO, new system chief (who should b very pro-pilot), and new planes coming. Hopefully the stock split isn't an indication of something sinister about to happen.

Good day to b an Eskimo pilot!

Just a reminder...the last two pro-pilot CPs...one lasted 6 months, the other lasted 6 weeks. Don't get your hopes up.

Sound familiar, we lost our best Asst. CP, because he stood up for a pilot. Luckily our current base CP, who is a good guy, has learned to walk the fine line.

cool hopefully he sees my application and is struck by how washingtonian i am!

Cautiously optimistic here. I hope he doesn't turn on us like the rest of the goons normally do; I don't think BT is one of them, but never know. We will really know by what fruit he bears.... keeping my fingers crossed!
