*sigh* thanks for the info -- nm - Epiphany Apr 2, 12:10 4
- Wait! can Alaska have gates at both Love Field AND DFW? -- nm - Epiphany Apr 2, 12:14 3
  - Airlines are permitted to operate at both airports (United used to. Delta still does). I think Alaska would choose one though. - ty97 Apr 2, 12:18 2
    - f me ugh. then it will be as virgin never existed here. they will consider DFW collateral damage and sell the gates? -- nm - Epiphany Apr 2, 13:38 1
      - Not sure. I'm only guessing they would want to consolidate at one or the other. They *could* decide DAL is the one they want. - ty97 Apr 2, 13:48
Wait...wait... - znufrii Apr 2, 11:56 4

  - we can also own a minority share of your face. Anbang has 0 fucks to give. -- nm - Anbang Apr 2, 14:35
  - Anbang doesn't care. Anbang buy it anyway. -- nm - Anbang Apr 2, 11:59
That kinda went from very good news to rather blah news. -- nm - Mop Apr 2, 11:55 11
- Yeah, Jetblue + Virgin America would make a better nationally competitive airline. - ty97 Apr 2, 12:00 10
  - I hedged and added Jet Blue to my stock portfolio in addition to my Alaska, in case they won. -- nm - Bacon Apr 2, 12:03 9
    - Alaska's a solid airline, I have no qualms about flying with them. Unlike United. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 2, 12:17 7
      - I keep hearing how great Alaska is. It would be super great if they actually flew place east of the Rockies! -- nm - ty97 Apr 2, 12:19 6
        
        Alaska flies to Orlando -- nm - Bacon Apr 2, 12:45 1
        
        Right. But they fly from Orlando to Seattle and San Diego, both of which are west of the Rockies. - ty97 Apr 2, 12:47
        
        (The east of the Rockies part is facetious but only slightly so) -- (edited) - ty97 Apr 2, 12:20 3
        
        I also like westjet -- nm - Beryllium Apr 2, 12:22 2
        
        they're... a'ight. -- nm - Reagen Apr 2, 12:25
        
        I've never flown them, though they do fly to Toronto from here. -- nm - ty97 Apr 2, 12:23
    - might take a look at HWI -- nm - Epiphany Apr 2, 12:13
