I have seen enough to be confident that UAL is absolutely interested in merging with AS. I believe they are currently assessing the political appetite for such a transaction. SK is about to take his last parting shot at his old employer and become the largest airline in the world.

[QUOTE=echelon;3420310]A pending merger with UAL is probably the only thing that would keep an Alaska FO with an offer from DAL or FDX or AAL from bailing as fast as possible. Which might be why you're posting this? 🤔 Doing your part to try to keep the attrition to a manageable level by dangling the possibility of some future for Alaska other than pure fetid garbage?[/QUOTE]
I have become rather suspicious of this too. Sure OTZ is right about things we are going to hear about in a few weeks anyway like bids, bases, displacements, and such. That gives him just enough credibility that readers will listen when he posts his merger propaganda to a group that is desperate for some kind of improvement.

Great analogy! I appreciate someone giving a heads up about a crazy ex. Giving the scoop to fellow pilots is exactly what this forum is for. If you’ve got perspective to share on how a career decision has worked out for you then I, for one, am glad to hear it.
Keep on posting Ala5ka!

AS is gonna merge/buy/acquire by one of the following: American, Delta, United, Southwest, Hawaiian, jetBlue, Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant, Sun Country, Avelo, Breeze, or airBahn.
And just to be really safe, either Mesa or Skywest.

Except......if he's left and posting as if he's still employed here, he's not giving you a perspective of how his decision to leave has worked out for him. He's spent 3 years giving a false perspective, that you as an actual employee, already have....not too helpful for pilots here, wondering how things are at other airlines, now is it... pretty pathetic really
forums. (Kind of hard to not to differentiate him!) Anyway, please keep posting but there’s no reason for anyone to misrepresent themselves.

I'm gonna call it now, so I'll be officially right.
