Jump to postI've always been under the impression that PLN is not EAS subsidized during the summer. Hence the 4x flights in the summer. I've even seen 9E fly this route quite a few times which further muddies the equation. Peace :box: Correct. According to their DOT Docket - https://www.regulations.gov/docket/...
Jump to postI assumed it was on Cape's end. It's nice to see 'a lot' of interest in MKG. Back in the early/mid-90s when MKG had multiple carriers, were there any EAS subsidies for MKG services? I seem to remember YX, UA & NW were all there at the same time. It was unsubsidized until 2009. Mesaba was the la...

So glad didn't take a job flying for them! SAE is a crap shoot on a good day. I randomly remember about their flights to ORD and when I go and look 2 or 3 flights are substantially delayed on a good day. Cape Air already flies from Manistee to O'Hare. MKG could be another nice addition for them. Ma...
Jump to postThis was shared in the EAS thread, but is relevant to this thread as well: MKG has petitioned the DOT to terminate their contract with Southern Airways Express, citing poor performance. Not the first time, but MKG-Muskegon has filed to terminate contract with Southern Airways Express In the notes--M...
Jump to postToday the new AA livery still bothers me. Every time I see it, I think, I can forgive a lot of their sins, but not this. The new AA livery came about well before the merger. The A319's and A321's they ordered could not have a bare metal livery. Well, they "could" have a bare metal livery,...

Also, how come they don't sell tickets for the flights between EAS cities (such as JLN-DEC)? I've seen MCW-FOD sold with UA miles, but I've never seen any route like that for sale with cash. I can't imagine that there's a whole lot of O/D traffic between these random city pairs, but I don't see any...
Jump to postWould love to see what MBL could put on jets to O'Hare. In 2011/early 2012 when Frontier Connection had the EAS contract and flew 37-seat ER3 on MBL-MKE they averaged about 35 enplanements per day (12 flights per week so roughly 55%) with summer peak periods running 85%+ full. Cape's been running a...

Jump to postMuch as I like HA’s livery, I think it’d be great to see them adopt the Alaska livery as a template, except with the “Hawaiian” titles and Pualani in the place of Chester. Would be a great way to operate 2 brands while sharing a common identity. Both of them having someone’s head as a logo certainl...
Jump to postCan someone clarify if they will be using the same airline code for the separate airlines after merger? All the releases say combined airline - so single code but two different brands. Presumably, the HA aircraft will just get the "operated by Alaska Airlines" sticker on them. The release...
Jump to postDid Alaska put out a different slide set? ONE OPERATING CERTIFICATE means Hawaiian is pau. gone. poof. No speculation. No guessing. Its **right there** in the SEC filing.

Jump to postThe combined group will be called ALoHA (AirLines of Hawaii and Alaska). You heard from me first. OK, I am messing with you guys. Above statements are my prank tricks. Congratulations to AS and HA however. I have been dreaming of this merger since 2006! And wondered last 17 years why it was not don...
Jump to postLots of speculation and cynicism on this thread, but for what my two cents are worth: For at least the short term, I think that Alaska Air Group acquires HA and operates it as a separate subsidiary. Essentially, Alaska Air Group becomes the holding company for three separate airlines: Alaska, Horizo...
Jump to postHope the DOJ is watching this.... this might be another reason for them to drop their lawsuit and allow the merger. It’s the FAA who would be watching. If Spirit discovered it and did a voluntary disclosure it will be a lot less worse than if the FAA discovered the missing inspection and out of com...
Jump to postThe weird thing to me is that all the 737-based retro liveries are wrong. Neither TWA, Air Cal, nor Reno Air ever had grey airplanes. Why not just paint them correctly rather than have a half-baked never-was sideways version of a livery? I assume it's because it's easier to swap out panel covers an...
Jump to postThe retro liveries began with the US Airways-America West merger, and at that time neither carrier operated 737s, so they were painted on Airbus aircraft by default. The original classic liveries included Piedmont, PSA, Allegheny, both America West liveries, and the navy blue US Airways livery (I do...
Jump to postWhat other airlines do this today? Really it's a question of 'Why does AA do it?' Besides AA, a number of others do this. Most of those are past liveries of the same brand, not liveries of former airlines that were merged/absorbed into the current brand. AA is fairly unique as far as having aircraf...

Jump to postIn order for DL to go “all-mainline”, they would have to get rid of OO and YX—or somehow bring all of that flying in-house, as well.
