Its because they're making a buttload of money (and guess how) and are investing in their airline...

Has anyone seen the movie, Flight? Our hero is a cocaine addict who sleeps with his flight attendants and drinks while he is flying. He represents a porn star or prostitute better than he represents a professional pilot. Disgraceful. Oh yeah, he dumps all his fuel on the MD-80 while in an uncontrolled dive. Don't waste your time. The entire movie is garbage.
Ridiculous "flying" scenes (Captain doing walk-around in a TR, flying 330 kias into said TR, the ol' worn jackscrew problem, fuel dumping, lost hydraulics on the MD80 evevator
, handles pulled out of the floor to go to "manual control", on and on.) Lame. Didn't quite catch what he said, but Captain's "union rep" said something like, "when we were at Delta, blah, blah"
Couldn't care less what happened to our drunk, coked-up hero.
Avoid.

Just got home from watching this crap. I would've rather given my $20 to somebody down on his luck. Don't waste your money, even on Netflicks or Redbox.

On the other hand, how hard would the check ride be if you just have to hit the FLY button? "Your ride is SAT, see you next year"

Thanks Jug. I was gonna take my wife but now I'll not only pass but urge others to do the same. I saw Denzel on a talk show the other day and he had no idea what he was talking about reference the movie and didn't really seem to care. Just a quick paycheck for him apparently.

I've been reluctant to say anything about this, but Alaska kicked United to the curb, then kicked Southwest to the curb, and they would gladly kick us to the curb too. All in the name of BRAND LOYALTY. The Seattleite proudly runs his Windows 8 PC, sips his Starbucks coffee, and vacations along Alaska Airlines' route structure. They are a fiercely loyal customer group and honestly don't take lightly to competition on Alaska's route structure. Every other airline sees SEA as a "lousy hub". That's because the market is cornered like nowhere else in the country.
If you're from the South I don't expect you to understand. So feel free to tell me I'm wrong and that Delta is great - especially because we don't shut down the APU until we have external air.

When you can't beat th... well, came close on one. 
Not the point.
Since a stadium implosion in BTR is inappropriate to hope for, watching two friends stress is kind of enjoyable.
But I must say, GO DUCKS!
