Really… LCA must be really connected! Glad he told you OTZ was an idiot!

OTZ mixed up his numbers a few weeks ago. He said a 787 announcement by September. I think he meant we’ll soon be doing a 8 hour flight on a 737. Happens to the best of us. 🤣 His insider info is diminishing like Alaska’s growth (too soon?).

🤔🤔🤔… brilliant

so how many trades do you make regarding this merger that you had inside information on? Hope you made a ton of money.

The only news was no upgrades expected on the June 1 bid (to be posted the first 2 weeks of Jan). FOs only. Apparently they didn't have as many CAs take retirement as they thought there would be.

787's are in the future for Alaska/Hawaiian. Not sure exactly how it will pan out, but SEA is a great gateway for flights into the EU.

If you're originating in Alaska, or live in WA or OR, sure. But aside from that...I can't imagine how SEA is a desirable hub for US-EU flying.. If you're in CA, you've got a zillion options out of LAX/SFO. Mountain West, there's Denver. Anyone living east of about Spokane can just hop to DEN or ORD and then onto the EU.

Now for Pacific Rim destinations, sure. But Europe? I kinda don't see it...
