Who knows? If you look at the S terminal where most of our flights are, you would think we were severely limited on our growth but the last 4-5 times I've been there, we've gone in and out of B gates and A gates I think...it's hard to tell how many gates the Port Authority is going to let us use.

Obviously if we are announcing this growth, we have a way of parking airplanes somewhere but how much more space has been offered/committed is a good question.

Kind of put the kernel in everyone's mind that Delta was there before anyone else who would try to come in after a Delta/Alaska merge?

And, by putting pressure on their market share, their share price goes down and we buy them at a discount.

I still think Hawaiian makes more sense. If we are worried about the Narita hub losing its strategic advantage, wouldn't Hawaii and some more heavies make for an ideal staging area for overflights into Asia? Not to mention the route authority Hawaiian has to all those Asian cities. (Although we probably have route authority to those Asian cities we aren't using right now.)

That is a good question. I didn't mean to get a SLI argument going, but maybe an Alaska guy could give us a drive by answer and prevent a lot of speculation.

As far as gates, couldn't they extend out the A gates like they did at T4 at JFK? That would give extra gate space and maybe all of our customers wouldn't have to take the train. I love going out of the B gates there.

I'm waiting for a current Sen List, but as of Jan 07 they have hired apx 119. That's only 8%. I'll edit when I get current list.

Baja.

But I really felt like I was doing better. I mean six years on Douglas products, I know how to give good flap.
You must've taught something that stuck; I've been on the Douglas for 6 years too....

Great... just when I've sold my house and have the move set up to take us to the OC in may!

As long as I don't end up doing a "John Cusack in 2012", it's all good!
