Alaska continues the pressure on Virgin America

Point taken, and it doesn't help when the union is helping mgmt to bend us forward as well......

How is the union bending you over?

It was United to Vancouver. Cruise for a week. 4 days at Denali. Fly home from Alaska changing to Continental in Seattle. Accuracy is key around here.

About 7 years ago accuracy was key around here. Now it is just chest beating and stay at home CEOs

Ouch. I left an m out of remember.

Continental West- Something like this. Lorenzo was trying to bring 737-300's, as I recall, to New York Air. For whatever reason, the entire Texas Air mess is to convoluted for this post, but couldn't do it. His answer was to optain a certificate for a new carrier called Continental West. My point regarding Alaska is that the management at the time used this potential increased competition as a negotiating tactic.

Markair is a little less convoluted but they were also used, in my opinion, much the same way.

Ditto Southwest. Interestingly enough the FA's signed a last minute deal, amidst CHAOS, to sign a contract copied, or modeled perhaps, based on the SWA FA contract. Subsequently the Pilots signed a contract with minimal pay increases.

Read between the lines all you want.
