Delta could NEVER cover the West coast like Alaska does. A code share is the only logical arrangement.Sure it's a win when you are the carrier growing. Our block hours are down year after year after year. Some of that is Europe but a lot of it is code share. the only thing saving us block hour wise is parking RJs.
We have no growth airplanes ordered until those wayyyyyyyy off into the future 787s in 2020. My rant is not directed at you personally, we bought off on this back door deal.....I just wish my fellow pilots would see the light of where this is going.
Aeromexico...DL investment.....new jets
air France....sky team....new jets
Alaska.....big code share....new jets
Gol.....DL investment.....new jets and just bought another airline.
Aeroflot.....sky team.....new jets
DELTA.....big fat zero growth....contraction is the word.

Poor delta.... Everyone is taking "their" flying! How dare they!
Maybe they will get more planes than God can count...
It just aint gonna happen with 50 new 737MAX's. I guess your only hope is that merger with Hawaiian. (unless it is absorbed by someone else first?)
Aloha!

the all 737 fleet would fit really well with the Airbus, 76 and 71 fleet.. right?
And what would you call the new airline? what would be on the tail?
na... I don't think it would work.
I'm just stating that was a "rumor" out there. So, which fleet would match up better with yours, IF a merger were ever to happen? Any ideas?

I think people are mad that DL gave it up under a previous CEO, who did have the "Western Airlines" routes and moved the assets East. We all know that happened, and your airline was a small one at that time mainly flying to Alaska. I don't think DL will now add extra flights to compete, but will fill in the rest of the country where there are gaps, with 717s for example.
At the same time, I see AK's growth limited too. Yeah, maybe SAN is your next target, since DL isn't there already. I do know you do a lot of Hawaii, very impressive. I don't see any overlap except SEA to HNL. Who flies from LAX to all the islands and from SFO to HNL? Why haven't you guys started those yet? Maybe someday.
Bye Bye---General Lee
Wow...General Lee posting an informative, non-incendiary post about another airline. Someone's growing up...
I thought by now we'd be flying to Sitka together...
