Ok - 8 hrs to go now till the "big" news so I'll spill my line rumor beans.

Rumor #1: Alaska orders 10 of Boeing's best 787's. The SEA hanger is being remodeled to handle them and we have been teaching Menzies how "NOT" to hit a composite aircraft with a forklift...

Rumor #2: Alaska converts 25 of 50 options into firm orders on the 737-800. This is a move to get ahead of LUV and their poking of the nose under the HI cash cow tent in 2011 / 2012.

Rumor #3: Most Captain's, over age 60, with a teaspoon of brains will retire by the end of the year. This is to avoid the 10+ year F/O's from greating them in a dark parking lot at the end of their trips with a crow bar aimed at their right knee cap. (It's hard to look cool in retirement with a limp.)

We are buying all of Airtran's 717's.
