Merger?

rumor has it that things are slowing down in the training center as HQ prepares for an acquisition.

The acquisition rumor has died down lately. What are the latest rumors?

I've been burned by the big announcement before so I don't think I'll hold my breath either.

On a different note. I have been here four months and I am holding 70% in LAS.

any hints as to the potential "big announcement" on 9/5? buy more planes? hey afhercdriver, 70%....that's good stuff.

A new seating assignment policy??? That's my guess.

We will never buy Airtran. Let it go. Cultures don't align enough. Alaska would be a better fit for us anyway if I had to guess.

Hey 328dude,

What about Westjet? I would think that would be messy buying a foregin carrier, but who knows. I heard SWA would like to buy someone with international status. I don't think Alaska would be that good of a fit. I hear that pilot group is very unhappy.

New seating assignment policy? Nahhhh...now if yer talking a new boarding policy...someting may be cooking there
