As the game continues, fewer pieces are left, and the choice of moves gets narrow pretty quickly.

Nu's prediction: B6 & ALK merged or in progress in 24 months...

Nu

PS Picard sucks. Kirk could beat him up and bed his woman.

Who is B6? Sorry I just don't know those abbreviations...

Picard had Voz... Kirk's women were green.. and had tentacles...

Yeah I'm a Trekkie... So what?

B6 is Jet Blue.

Nu, that works too, if we can maintain the feed.

FWIW, I do not want to merge with AS. I would love DAL to do the flying on their own, but I also know that there is not enough of a market to do that with Virgin out there. Buy them up with their six month captains and you may be able to do the flying yourself, but until then you have too may seats and not enough bodies to fill em.

For DAL to make the SEA hub work and in reality the LAX hub, they need the RASM and feed of AS. Lost that and a ton of Asia flying will have to get dumped.

What's really funny is that now AA is the ugly girl at the prom who noone wants to dance with...

I think he wants out of the RJ so bad, that he's hoping for an online recommendation to join SWA. His comments about him being one of thousands willing to be at the bottom of SWA's list if AirTran isn't, is particularly revolting.

Lol, I'm not sure which the 717 looks better in.......Citrus colors or SWA colors. Kind of looks funky in both IMO.:p

Good job on the avatar though. :D

Mass confusion. I'm going to have to say that if Carlspackler is a SWA pilot and Carl Spackler is a 747 Delta pilot, then I make a motion to have only 1 Carl Spackler and I think the one with the most posts win. Although I now know that Carl Spackler of 747 fame didn't change his avatar to a SWA 717, but for a moment there it was confusing.
