You can if you are willing to resurrect the Red/Green wars of NWA. Also, don't forget that any newhires after such a decision would be considered Delta hires and thus outside the fence. At some point they would begin jumping the Alaska guys into the widebodies, depending on how things were structured. There were repeated arbitrations up North as the fleet mixes changed. It was a mess.

The Roberts Rule created a great deal of animosity at NWA. I suggest we avoid a repeat.

There is a tunnel. The airport authority hasn't decided to reopen it yet.

Because AA doesn't want to pay for it. The truth is in the details.

Trust me brother. I work there. Plus, the tunnels suck. AA will only open that tunnel if and when we sever our AK relationship. That's why its not open right now but 5 to 6 is.

Sounds like "Rolling Thunder" operations in effect! Good for him. Maybe it means hiring is right around the corner- good for all of us!

Thanks. Worst case then is out of a combined list of 12,500 ish the 2007-2010 hires would see about 100 guys hired after them at Alaska be senior to them on the list. I think the biggest losers would be the 2000-2001 hires at DAL.
