SEATTLE — Boeing Co. has sold two more 737-800s to Alaska Air Group for $153 million apiece, the companies said Thursday.
Alaska Air, which operates Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air, will take delivery of 13 "Next-Generation" 737s over the next several years. The carrier already has 116 737s in its fleet.
More than 125 customers have placed orders for more than 5,400 737s. Unfilled orders exceed 2,000 airplanes, Boeing said.
Boeing shares rose $3.42, or 5.4 percent, to close at $66.60. Alaska Air shares added $1.33, or 2.8 percent, to end at $49.26.

That's good news!

I'm riding home on Alaska right now, enjoying inflight WiFi. Great service!

No. Probably for the two.

From the Boeing website:

737-800 $72.5-$81.0 million

Wow. Alaska or Virgin, that's a tough choice...

$97 million profit for the year and they're shrinking Horizon and asking for paycuts.

Horizon was only 4% of the profit. It's only going to get worse at Horizon. I hate to see it happen, but the business model isn't working.

$97 million profit for the year and still denying trip trades due to lack of adequate reserve coverage. This has gone way beyond ridiculous! The enablers need to stop.

 

[Old School 737]

There will canceled flights today due to no crew! There are no sea reserves left

I don't know, guys. So far the premium trip pickup count is FOs 42, Captains 8.:uzi: As long as the greedy keep on being greedy, flights won't be cancelled, and nothing will change.
