Alaska demographics for merger?

Rumor I heard is that the person on the tail isn't an eskimo. It's United's most senior FA! I had a UA flight crew tell me that!

What makes you think the company will buy the new uniform?

I can't find a reference but I believe we are exempt from local and state labor laws under the RLA.

scoreboard,

It won't be Alaska. JetBlue. It was almost JetBlue before AirTran - deal fell through the first time.

I think you're right. It's the last piece of the domestic puzzle and access to the Caribbean and South America for WN. The 190's are being capped at 55 already and the 320/737 combo would work fine for many years to come.

Don't forget about a serious Northeast presence in BOS/NYC.

Why would Gary Kelly write a check when he can wait for the likes of the NEW AMERICAN to throw Jetblue around for 12 rounds and then cherry pick the assets he needs?

Did you not see the news yesterday? Parker is pissed and Barger is in over his head. Jetblue is about to be served up some pain.

Yea good point, Jetblue's value has peaked and the downward slide has begun. WN very well might get some pieces at a fire sale, but they wont be the only vultures looking to take a bite.

What is your argument for this statement?

I loved this from Barger: "The merger would give the new version of American Airlines two-thirds of the slots at Reagan National, a dominance that would not be in the public's interest, Barger said."

Has anyone discussed the percentage of slots that JetBlue has at Long Beach? It's also a slot restricted airport and JetBlue hauled 79% of the passengers in/out of Long Beach in 2011. Pot, meet kettle.

Long Beach in not to L.A. what DCA is to Washington.

You are not really making an apples to apples comparison.

Interesting. You've chosen to use Parker's argument defending their DCA slots in order to defend JetBlue's LGB slots.
DCA is no longer a critical airport to DC; BWI and IAD are moving the bulk of the passenger traffic in/out of DC.

Is JetBlue's total dominance of slots at LGB in the public's interest?
