Quite a few, I'd guess. There's a lot of people doing a commute between the 3 west bases. Opening another narrowbody category will have an impact on seniority across almost every category out west, except 330A and 767A.

We might need a thread dedicated to these Surface tablets. I have lots of questions and need lots of gouge.
My first flight impression: Two thumbs up. The thing is really sweet. Much better than paper Jepps. And it could be fabulous once the Feds let them turn on all the capabilities.
HOWEVER: the mount sucks. There's gotta be a better solution.
Maybe not so bad in other jets with bigger cockpits but in the 737 its in the way.
Potentially so much in the way that I'm worried somebody's gonna smack the yoke on it in the flare and really prang a landing.
I'll be paying close attention to where me and my FO clamp that thing.

It a great location to connect the intermountain West. It also doesn't hurt that the Mormon Church is there. They run some very big businesses and the place is flush with cash.

Perhaps a better way to frame the question is to review OAG flight, load factor and available revenue data. Delta will adapt to markets to sustain and grow profitability. On that basis, SLC looks just fine from my 12 month old snapshot. SWA has been the loser as Alaska and Delta adjust to Delta's expanded presence in SEA.
The pieces do play together, but you have to look three or four moves into the game. It is not zero sum between Delta and Alaska.

There is one thing you did not consider. The plan is to park a considerable number of 757's. They may again slow that down and they have already Put out that marketing is requesting a large number of block hours for that fleet this summer. I believe the plan was to park about 15 airframes in 2015.
Subject to change as always.
Looking to buy some more from China. Rumor.
