Garrett retired in 1987.
Ron Allen took the help in 88 to 90 (Chairman, CEO, then President)
Robert Priddy left ASA to start Val-u-Jet in 1993, first real operations to speak of were 1994. Val-u-Jet changed its name to AirTran with the acquisition of "AirWays" corp in 1997. They were on the verge of being shut down by the FAA.
SWA was never any competition for Garrett. He had Eastern, under Lorenzo, to contend with. We won.
Leo Mullin went through Delta like Sherman through Atlanta. He burned our fields. We did not lose market to AirTran as much as we lost our own bearings as a Company by trying to outsource our core competency.
Make me President for a day ... I'll order CAP over our hubs ...

Okay, it seems to me that this part of our scope clause would apply to the Alaska SEA to SLC flights:
3. The DL code will not be placed on AS flight segments to or from a Delta hub.
Exception one: The DL code may be placed on AS flight segments to or from LAX, subject to Section 1 O. 2. Any such flight segments between LAX and an Alaska hub will be included in the calculations in Section 1 O. 3. Exception two.
The rest talks about exceptions on hub to hub flights which these are not because SEA is not a "hub."
The way I read it, it seems pretty clear that Delta cannot place it's code on these flights because SLC is a Delta hub.

Edit: Now that I think about it, the Alaska SEA to ATL flight(s) are in the same boat. Do we allow our code on these flights????????

International Paper moved their operational headquarters to Memphis in '06 partly because of the ease of air travel. Their execs have expressed their displeasure in the local press over the drawdown. Probably they and other businesses based there like Autozone, Medtronic etc are putting pressure on Cohen.

Oddly enough, nearby Denmark raises swine that actually have more tender and meatier ribs than those "harvested" from domestic swine.. Quite a few of the "better" rib joints in Memphis ship their ribs in from Denmark.
