Alaska to accelerate MD-80 retirement.

Alaska and Aloha?

Alaska and Aloha?

Alaska, Aloha, Frontier. This one has been predicted so much it could not possibly actually happen. It is just too expected.

 

[lumax]

Alaska and nobody else!

 

[alaskaplt]

That would be fine too. But if it does happen I believe CAL or SWA would be our best bets.

No way SWA is player. I think Herb said that after the Morris merger that it would be there last. I just can't see them merging with anyone. I agree with Lumax, Alaska and nobody. No merger is a good one, I can't think of one that went well.

hawaii is already a done deal. It's in house, no merger necessary.

I'm going to personally merge with Retirement...

Nothing at this company is a done deal until it actually happens.

A shame

That's too bad to hear about the retirement of the MD-80 from Alaska's fleet. It's probably be a cost effective airplane if they were re-engines with the BMW's
