Delta mainline back to Juneau? Looks like it in late May...

[Mamma]

And, I'm sure operations will be exactly the same as the 727 days, right? Nothing has changed since then..... Riiiight.


Bye Bye----General Lee

If you are not flying RNP then you are correct. Nothing has changed since the 727 days. Lot's of go-arounds and diverts.

I think we at Alaska Airlines are going to discover that Alaskans are not particularly fond of the airline headquartered in SEA that simply borrows the name of the state....The city and borough of Juneau owns all the airport facilities such as terminals, jetways, ticket counters, bagwells etc....One of our core business strategies is to run the competition out of business and immediately bend over the locals....we may find this strategy has the potential to backfire....badly....RNP was developed using Alaska Airlines money, jets etc.....but the technology was owned by a couple guys who worked on it....they built a company designing radius to fix RNP arrivals and approaches for anyone and everyone around the world.....subsequently they sold this company to a large well known aviation company who will happily build rf rnp approaches for anyone....I think Widget World knows all of this and intend to benefit from it........

Yep. Years of bending Alaskans over in a monopoly will not help. Competition is always good for everyone involved. Hopefully Alaska's game improves.

As for Delta going to Juneau--so what? They'll figure out that it's no picnic when the weather isn't perfect, which can be any time of year. One of the worst weather days I've experienced in Juneau was this past Summer. Good luck to them.

Say what you want about GL CP, but then you throw chum in the water like the puke you spewed above and not expect a comment?

(Gasp) weather? Oh jeeze, now you are scaring me.....only the mighty Eskimo can brave the perils of the Alaskan bush. Please Mr. Weatherman, say it ain't so....we Delta Bubbas only know JOOOL-lie thunderstorms and name all our planes JENNay!

Thanks for the big scare, we'll probably go there anyway....

Alaska Airlines Adds More Salt Lake City Service
Fares available for booking Dec. 24 between Salt Lake City and Boise, Las Vegas and San Francisco
PR Newswire Alaska Airlines 3 minutes ago
SEATTLE, Dec. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Alaska Airlines is adding daily flights to three more cities from Salt Lake City next summer, marking the latest in a series of route expansions. The carrier will begin flying nonstop from Salt Lake City to Boise, Idaho, and Las Vegas on June 16 and between Salt Lake City and San Francisco on June 18. Special introductory sale fares on the new flights will be available for purchase Tuesday, Dec. 24,

"Known for our award-winning service and low fares, we're pleased to offer travelers more opportunities to experience Alaska Airlines' unique service when they fly," said Joe Sprague, vice president of marketing. "These new flights are in addition to our previously announced service between Salt Lake City and Portland, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose, which also start next June. These additional flights will complement Alaska's strong network on the West Coast."

The airline will fly one daily roundtrip each between Salt Lake City and Boise and San Francisco, and two daily roundtrips between Salt Lake and Las Vegas. Flights from Salt Lake City to San Francisco allow travelers same-day connections to the airline's nonstop service to Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.




Ok, this is getting good. Hopefully more mainline planes will head West. I think this will benefit DL pilots with forced mainline growth....


Bye Bye---General Lee

This merger is gonna happen now, everybody is going all-in to drop stock prices.

I look forward to sharing a cockpit with my Alaska brethren (as long as it's not a WIDEBODY)....Joke, TIC.

Everybody thinks this is us vs. them but the die has been cast months ago.
