Alaska to launch Portland-Honolulu as Delta axes the route
By Lori Ranson
Alaska Airlines plans to launch year-round flights between Portland, Oregon and Honolulu, Hawaii beginning 20 September as Delta Air Lines plans to eliminate the same route after the peak summer season.
Alaska explains the new flights expand its current offerings from Portland to Hawaii, building on its existing service from Portland to Kahului, Maui.
Schedules in the Innovata database show that currently Hawaiian Airlines offers flights operated with Boeing 767-300s on the route while Alaska's codeshare partner Delta Air Lines operates 757s between the two locations.
However, the latest Delta schedule loaded into the carrier's system last week shows the carrier is cutting its service from Portland to Hawaii.
"The route has been unprofitable during off-peak seasons, and we have made the decision to reallocate the aircraft dedicated to this route to more profitable uses in our network," says a spokesman for Delta.
He explains Delta is hopeful that it can serve Portland-Honolulu again seasonally in the future, "and we will continue to evaluate opportunities to resume this service".
With respect to potentially codesharing with Alaska on the Portland-Honolulu pairing, Delta's spokesman says: "We would evaluate codeshare possibilities with Alaska as part of our normal alliance conversations, but no decisions have been made at this time."
Alaska and Delta in November 2008 amended their marketing agreement to make the carriers preferred alliance partners on the US West Coast.

I hope that turns out a little better than our "Year of the Customer!" A year in which DAL and our DCI buddies are making a serious run to hold all the bottom spots on every possible quality survey.

PG, After sending my Uncle Sam a check this week, I want to do whatever I can to shelter my $$. If we can get a small bump in pay but get maxed out on the 415 limits, that's a good thing. Hide the money from the taxman now but show it to him later when we are in a presumably lower tax bracket!
Of course, I could be over simplifying YMMV.

"this is a good thing, it frees up planes for new markets....."
"ALK pilots make more than we do , so, um opps......"
"Mgmt told me good things are coming soon......."
"The more flying lost, the better it is for us............"

That is my understanding of SAP and the limits with it. As it was explained to me you can change a program, but it will need to report the exact same way (formulas that come up with the same answer) as the current one does. We will do some of that, I am sure. I was actually very surprised with SAP. I learned a lot of the guys that designed the system at my wife's work. Heck it took them almost nine months go get it up and running and even after it was on line they still verified the numbers for another six months with another system. They have found errors in their templates but to fix them they need to fix programs like Solomon etc and not SAP. FWIW
