Baze is right... partly...

Alaska has negotiated something with Boeing... what... we don't know exactly. It may or may/not involve 900ER's. ALPA negotiations with the company already prove that.

Read the 8K's. Obviously AS needs more lift. Whether it is a 737, 787, DHC-8-400, or ERJ (quarter pay) it remains to be seen.

Something is up and we will find out.

Based on what I've heard recently, I wouldn't expect some "big announcement" anytime soon. more of slow "organic" growth that we're sort of used too.

That would certainly be more believable than any of the rumors. Willing to bet that growth will come in the form of larger planes replacing smaller planes. More asm but no more planes. I'll believe we will be adding aircraft and growing the pilot group when it actually happens. When's the last time that happened around here?

Big and fast is not in Alaskas DNA. Slow and cautious is.

The latter happened before the age 65 ruling.

Never really felt like the number of pilots was growing, just that we had old guys retiring. Two more long years!!!

787's? You're dreaming. Not gonna happen. Ever.

AAG mgmt is too hard up to go away from the single fleet that they have/are planning for their two different pilot groups. There is a plan but will it be the same stuff or will they branch out? I bet we will know within a month.
