Jump to postI've never heard of Alaskan Airlines..I know Alaska flies that route..and they are adding a daytime trip soon...Why is UA a "real" airline oppose to Alaska? Do you have to be losing money or be bankrupt before you become "real"?
Jump to postI would love to see Alaska get rid of the euro white. Maybe a silver paint job and get rid of the green in the cheat line...silver and blue could make the a/c look more modern. Keep the Mo and the current font for sure!!

Jump to postAlaska is the whore in the airline industry. They are great at what they do..why should they change the wonderful codesharing agreements they have? Alaska won't join any alliance, they have an excellent marketing agreement with 10 major airlines as it is.

Jump to postI believe AS and NW have an agreement that NW will not fly SEA-ANC and some other routes for that matter. That's why crews have a very high boarding priority for commuting on AS...higher than AS employees traveling on pleasure. Back in 98 I believe NW flew Sea-Anc for a month in the summer..they day...
Jump to postLive TV can not be turned on or used when flying over Canada due to law (I want to say FCC laws)...thats one the reason's Alaska can't see spending all the money on the otherwise great system
Jump to postRumor is a 2nd daily flight will be added late summer or fall...the flight is suppose to be a red eye. They have already added another BOS for the spring schedual..its a red eye
Jump to postJetblue will never be albe to compete in the market...and their Live TV won't work on that run..that's one of the main reason's Alaska hasn't bought it. The Sea-Anc market is Alaska Airlines,,and I hope it will remain that ways for years to come

As for a/c types they operate...
MD80--31
737-200---9
737-400--40
737-700--16
737-900--6
I was shocked when I first read this..but thinking about it I believe that Airbus might just work for AS..I think it would be a better fit overall..since they can range from 318--321...Also I can see a merger with F9 working...not HP..god help us if that happens
Jump to postAlaska Air Group uses Sabre, but they have developed their own CRS that works on top of Sabre...more like a Window's based product that is easier to train and use.

Jump to postAlaska Airlines/Horizon Air by far! They are the Nordstrom of the airline industry.
Alaska won't be ordering 757's anytime soon. If anything they will order the 737-900X if Boeing follows though with it. Alaska wants over 50 percent of the market share out of Seattle, so they will continue to grow. While growing Seattle, they also have plans to grow LAX and possibly ANC. Just recen...

The 739X? What is that suppose to be? Will it hold more passengers? What's the range? Does Boeing talk about it on their website yet? If it has a longer range and holds more pax..I'm sure Alaska will be the launch customer
Jump to postDoes anyone see in the future...maybe long future new a/c types for Alaska. If you think about it, I would hope if the continue to expand their east coast presence they would use something other than the 737-700. Also, I think the 400's will be next to go after the MD's, most likely 800's would repl...
Jump to postAlaska serves BOS, DCA, IAD, EWR,and soon MIA with all 737-700. All the east coast flights are doing well. Look for more east coast flying in the future. Also they have recently applied for fly LAX-DCA..that too will be served with a 700.
Jump to postAlaska will not join an alliance. They have one of the best mileage plans in the industry. Joining an alliance would force them to drop some of those mileage agreements with certain carriers. The NWA/KLM alliance is much stronger with AS and especially QX than the AA partnership.

Jump to postAlaska Airlines does not serve YYZ. It did serve YYZ from LAX in the early 90's with a MD80 but it was a flop. Don't plan on seeing AS in YYZ anytime soon. If anything that must be a codeshare with AA or NW.

I currently work in management for a major US airline. My dream would be to work for a European carrier in Europe. Is there anyway I can do this? I would be willing to work management or non..like CSA for Flight attendant. Any info would be great..I would love to work for BA, Virgin, LH or AF.
Jump to postAlaska Airlines is the best. It wins awards every year. First Class service depends on the time of day..Alaska always serves meals at meal times. In first to LA you would get a hot meal, chicken, fish, pasta. It actually good food and nice presentation. I wouldn't fly anyone else!
Jump to postCan anyone tell me about National Airlines? What is their company culture like? Are they good to work for? What is it like to fly on them? How do they rate compared to the majors? I see they are hiring, which I am surprised since they are in Chapter 11. Any info you have would be great!
