Business degree from an Ivy League school. Been at Alaska 20 + years. I think I know a thing or two about business and this company. Thanks for explaining a 787 can carry twice the load of a 321. I was always curious as to why it was so much bigger 🤣

Definitely ends with the shareholders. Well said.

As far as “heavy’s” coming to Alaska. There’s a reason we codeshare so much. Which also needs to be addressed in the next contract.

I’m trying to figure out why “SK” aka SAS would want to buy us? Weird but in your fantasy World possible I guess…🤔

The MAX product is the blown-out Pinto…At least the version that comes to Alaska. But they are cheap.
I have never inferred that the 321NEO was anything but a premium airframe.

As evidenced by Alaska pulling out of certain Hawaiian markets that Southwest enters.

Alaska doesn’t have the global customer base it needs for long haul and one world won’t do it. Do you really think AA wants alaska to have 787s? No disrespect to anyone there but it ain’t happening. Especially with OTZ’s 2025 timeline.

A little internet research will show Boeing’s 787 delivery schedule and with the delays a new order now won’t happen in two years. Don’t forget the spin up of training pilots, mechanics, ground staff and the associated parts etc. You have to love the OTZ fantasy grenade he throws before he disappears offline waiting for small tidbit of “i told you so” before he comes back.

I'd argue the opposite, at least yours have SATCOM and CPDLC. united maxs are still making position reports going to hawaii

Every UAL MAX I have ridden on has seat back screens, mid cabin lavs and they dont have those junky recarro seats that Alaska is in love with

Unless people change their bids, there will be a significant number of displacements out of LAX. Right now there is really only a shift in flying, most near term growth is capacity and not airframes. Almost all of the growth appears to be heading to SFO.
Anyone guess how far up the FO list displacements will go out of LAX?
