Alaska Announces SLC-LAX,SJC,PDX,SEA,SAN

Oh no not the dreaded 744 stories again... I am so afraid. DAL and RA are about to get a lesson in CSM. General did you know your own milage plan members prefer our domestic product over yours at a clip of almost 80%. Those are pretty ugly numbers. But don't worry you got CR9 717 and The "galactic 744". I guess I better start looking for a job. Check back early next year tell me what you think of those apples.

Hey, I'm excited about this. Your airline will force DL to make some major changes in the NW that they had you guys doing previously. I think that is fantastic. Well done.

I don't know a single person that prefers to travel on Delta vs Alaska...I'm sure there are some but ... Just saying ... When I fly East of GEG ... I try not 2 ... I hear the people getting off that don't know us say " wow I really like you guys , better than Delta or American or ... Fill in the blank..?..
All my business traveling friends will actually avoid Delta or American if they can stay on Alaska flights even if it adds a few hours to their trip..

This is just a drop in the bucket. I doubt either carrier is losing too much sleep.

Yeah, a $1.3 billion quarter had zero people flying in the planes. All mail. Great stories by the way. Everyone who flies on you says after your landing "I really like you guys, and will never ever fly anyone else again...... And make sure you call your sister, dear.....and take out the garbage too...." Laughable....

No, I think this will create major changes.... All great in my eyes. Maybe DL will actually fly more mainline up and down the West Coast. 100 total new 739ERs coming, 88 total 717s, 30 A321s, 10 more A330s, and maybe slow down the parking of some planes? Yeah, sounds like some spare planes could be available. Those CR9s and E175s could always be replaced I guess. Can't wait to see what happens next, but overall this is what should have happened first, instead of having Barbara Bush flying DL pax around. Good turn of events.

Your two airlines are still codeshare partners. I suspect that this has been coordinated between both managements.

Alaska has thrived for over 80 years. Delta isn't going affect Alaska and vice versa.

Andy,

Things seem to be changing. We'll see, but this SLC expansion seems out of nowhere. The SEA expansion for DL could be justified for feed for the INTL flights. Since when are extra flights between SLC and SAN and SJC needed? I think this will get interesting.

Hmmmmm. Oh-Kay. We'll see what the next steps are if any...
