I think I saw Sailing mention a merger announcement on Friday or Monday, vis-a-vis AA and US Air (from a different thread). True?

The camera blows her lips up and make her face seem skinny, lips huge, etc. but in person, she is 'normal' looking, and a very funny, quick wit. Too bad we don't have about 17,000 more like that! I told her I get to fly with her Grandmother, every week!

Apparently today was the release of the new Onboard Safety Videos. There's two versions and they're actually pretty funny and well done in my opinion. For those who can't get enough of 'Deltalina' and her finger wave, she makes a cameo appearance (I find her freakish looking)
Version One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KZW20cEfdk
Version Two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4apfa1O2MWw

Loved that Version 1. That was well done.
To me, if you can smile the entire time while you're talking and still be crystal clear, kudos to you, you should be on tv.
I spit when I talk. So I'm impressed by that kind of stuff.

Sorry but I found the pilot turning and pushing the "FLY" button to be rather insulting, demeaning and denigrating to our profession. Apparently DALPA does too, as a call went in to Ed Bastian about it.

There are enough people out there who think all we do is sit and let the autopilot do everything. To think that one of our management pilots would go along with the slapstick is incredible. Yeah, I know it's supposed to be funny, since were just button pushers and all.

No, too expensive to compete that way. The best way to do is to have an effective codeshare on a route that you wouldn't have made money on anyways.
Three simple steps: codeshare, skip to step 3, profit.
So they're adding around 314 seats into the market every day. kind of interesting to watch. it'd be worth it to take a snap shot of the fares as of right now and then after Alaska begins service and see if prices go down.
If they don't go down and the route is successful then there was room for more seats on that route then what we were doing. But instead of us doing it we're welcoming Alaska to do it in our place.
