Alaska Airlines petitions DOT on Virgin status

[becket]

The only thing Alaska's admitting is they cannot compete. It sounds like desperation or just plain panic.

This is Hysterical. 80 year old PROFITABLE Alaska Airlines "can't compete" and is becoming desperate with an 18 month old bottom feeder that has lost 88 cents for every dollar of revenue they've brought in...Yep, Bransons got em shakin' in their Muck Lucks.

Actually, there is a presidence set already. Discovery Air tried to start up in Hawaii with too much foreign ownership. Aloha and Hawaiian filed the same petition that AK has and Discovery was shutdown.

If that were the case Alaska would be doing every airline employee in this country a favor but unfortunately your typical bloggers and second rate media would somehow rationalize that Alaska was instrumental in the loss of american jobs.

If there is a market, then there are jobs in the market. If there aren't, we'll go out of business, and you'll do just fine. Chill the Fck out.

Thank you. Finally someone who gets it. Amazing how many virgins are out there saying anything to justify their existance and don't give a rat's ass about foreign ownership. Every other domestic airline should be on this bandwagon because every airline employee has a vested interested in ensuring that startups follow the same rules.
