The ship that apparently United was supposed to save… oh wait, Southwest. Nope, Alaska buying Hawaiian… hmm I can’t remember. But November is right around the corner, we’ll see. Or we won’t.

They are not riding this company into the dirt, just their career, long past sunset.

UA, HA, maybe AA… Yes, I think come November you will have your answer.
My current betting odds are
UA 4 to 1
HA 3 to 1
AA 25 to 1
Independent 5 to 2

I heard the old south bend gov is 100% against any mergers… including BLUIT

The big 4 AA/DL/UA/SW own ~84% of the country’s capacity. Why would they be allowed to take over even more of the remaining ~16% ?

You've answered your own question. They let 84% of the industry consolidate, why wouldn't they allow more?

I don't know... There are other, larger industries that are more consolidated than the airlines. Cellular service providers have consolidated to just three major players. Oil companies: four. Airliner manufacturers: one

3 months?! Holy sh!t! Are they sending you to the moon?
Edit: Just saw the breaks, guess that’s not that bad/

🤭🤔 really ? Try a 40% independent, 34% HA, 25% UA, and a less then 1% chance of AA

Maybe stay away from any betting tables!

Question; will Alaska pilots ever get a contract that is comparable to UA, DL?
In regards to pay, retirement, scope & scheduling.

( obviously, never with FedEx or UPS )

If not, why would anyone apply there?
