Delta/Alaska, alliance---then acquisition of Alaska?? Article

[SEVEN]

ALK stock is almost $44.00 a share... Delta can not afford us!

Sure they can. They are probably the only airline right now that would be in a position to purchase Alaska.

Cashless stock swap. Yes they can.

Just wait, we are getting very close in regard to our ops. One or two events and it will be very easy for that to happen.

That said, I prefer not to go through that SLI....

If they really want us that badly they will find some creative financing / sales pitch to some rich guys and banks and it will happen. They may pay a premium for us but if that's what they want to do I am sure they can find a way to make it happen. Unless Bill and the Board don't want it to happen then they might be able to stop it but they might miss out on their big cash out then.

Well, I don't know which way most of the DL pilots would like to address a POSSIBLE SLI, since a lot of the DAL-N pilots liked DOH during the DAL/NWA SLI. Would they like the same approach today if an AK merger were to happen? I bet the AK pilots would like that.
