Shocking! Perhaps, he just isn’t ready to spoil it yet??! Lol… Wasn’t it United, then Hawaiian then American?

Alaska has more then kicked the tires at HA… HA went with Amazon, AS decided HA really gave them nothing but a giant hangover. SK would love to buy AS, DOJ will not sign off on it, it’s understood it will take a Republican Whitehouse to get that deal done. AAL😂 really, they are definitely not buying AS.

AS is Actively in negotiations for 787’s… delivery early 2025! Peace out

Right after we get to have a well groomed beard. 787s! Of course!

Also, quoted for posterity!

I just spit my drink out laughing. Gotta admit this is just pure comedy with this guy. 🤣 Next you’ll say Alaska is in negotiations for the “Boom” jet. Nothing makes more sense than an Alaska 787 going into London from Seattle. Even the controllers would be confused. This doesn’t stand a chance. Nice try though. This company couldn’t even handle an Airbus fleet. Could you imagine them trying to work a heavy into this operation? Thanks for the laughs!

I left Alaska, but your childish behavior is embarrassing.

Alaska knows what they are doing. I may have left, but this airline is by far the best in the USA. If they deliver what they do domestically and expand it to the international (asia/europe) markets, most majors would lose. There's a reason they reap the margins they do. Management is doing really well with brand association. Airbus retirements are one thing, it shows you never studied financials. A B787 can carry twice the load of a A321 thus making it more efficient....

I am thinkin he meant 2 fleet types their skimo. Thinkin he knows the 787 can haul a couple more people. Alaska delivers a good product to share holders for sure..Kinda ends there

They are buying out the leases, and then reselling them. Something that is smart, and only a company with deep pockets could do…They’ll go quick, and for a premium.
So they are parking them and putting for sale signs in the window…Finally we agree.

Come on, Alaska runs from competition. They certainly are not going to take on anybody in the long haul international business. They might however, run a 787 between SEA and PDX.
