Right now 100 percent best guess.
Fast forward to 2027 when none of this happens:

IIRC correctly they *announced* the deal in 2016.

*Closed* the deal in April-ish 2017.

No actually you are wrong! You can’t even get the past right. Pretty embarrassing, everyone in a race to tell me I’m wrong… trouble is, I never am.

Alaska Air Group Inc. ALK -0.39%decrease; red down pointing triangle said it closed its $2.6 billion acquisition of Virgin America Inc. on Wednesday, December 14th, eight days after the Justice Department approved the deal with minor concessions. It raised about $2 billion in financing to fund the purchase and used cash for the balance.

I’m saying there is a reasonable chance SFO closes. 60/40… I know 100 percent they are looking at it. I’m gonna LMAO if in October the bid closer prints!

ANC, HNL, PDX, LAX, SEA Bases in 2027
SAN 70% chance it opens by the end of 2027
CVG, I don’t know, I hope it’s there, kinda been a weird paper trail there of late. 50/50 right now
SFO 40% chance it’s open by the end of 2027

The fact that you would laugh at pilots, families and their lives being uprooted and changed, shows what a scum bag you are. You have a buddy feeding you information, nothing more. You’re not in the circle, you’re not privy, you’re not in the room. You’re a loser who comes on APC with some second hand info to hold over others heads and spread panic.

Get the F over yourself.

Welcome to the party yall. Since 2017 we’ve gone from “Most West Coast” to, “We’re probably gonna close SFO”, to we’re refurbishing the SFO Alaska lounge, back to Most West Coast 2.0, but also, no more LAX - JFK., and now back to 60% gonna shut down SFO.

Best advice I can give is get a good side hustle, or a good hobby or two, come to work, collect the check, and just barely pay attention to the tea leaves. You’ll have more fun, make decent coin, and live a longer life. Seriously. This place is more unpredictable than picking the Powerball numbers. It changes by the minute.

Yeah he did the same thing during the pandemic. Started spreading misinformation about pilots getting furloughed and really freaked some poor junior people out. I think he enjoys it. I doubt SFO closes. The SFO BCP said she worked really hard to get the new village inside security and put a lot of care and effort into making it nice for crews. Considering how expensive it is to get things done in the SF Bay, it wouldn't make any sense for Air Group to close down the SFO base. That is just some Gig Harbor, former squadronmates BS bias against anyone who isn't in the PNW flying club.

Look at the make up of managment pilots and instructors. The majority of them are all from the same squadron. Talk about rocks and glass houses.... calling the SFO pilots the worst. LOL.
