Alaska could take on Allegiant flying out of SEA Paine Field??

Like AK could do that anyway, couldn't do it if they had to! New bid just came out, 8 new capt upgrades for this year? Yet we are expecting well over 50-60 retirements this year!?!? Only 70 new hires?? I'm just not seeing the logic or their reasoning anymore!!!

This is a dumb move on ALKs part. They will give attention to the fact that Paine is now open for business. G4 targets the occasional, bare-bones budget flyer.

It seems to me all AK would be doing is poaching their own passengers from their SEA flights. Folks who live N. of SEA and are gonna fly Alaska anyway & who would otherwise drive to SEA will take the shorter drive to Paine.

Allegiant doesn't make money selling seats... The airplanes are just a tool to get the people to the hotel packages that they purchased.
