Tuesday is weird day I guess in SEA. Only a few flights this time of year on that day. There used to be several SEA JFK and SEA MIA as well as PHL. Not sure how many are operating now. The MAX loss really pulled down flying out of SEA from what I have been told.

this would be a justified merger that would make sense and allow greatest competing in the northwest. But like the above poster said it depends on who's in the Whitehouse.

I don't think so, not even with this administration. But either way, I don't think AA wants it. This way they get most of the benefits without the headaches. I think they would only move on Alaska if someone else did.

ALK is an $8b company. With standard 50% premium AA would have to spend $12b to acquire it.
It would be a heck of a lot cheaper to undercut and take their business away and slowly creep into ALK markets. And in doing so, AA wouldn't "own" any large markets outright like they do in PHL, CLT, DFW, etc.
So, no. IMO.
