In the 737MAX production thread there’s a picture of winglets that very much match the “Honor Those Who Serve” planes. Which MAX (8,9, or both?) will be painted into this livery?

Re: Alaska Airlines Fleet, Network and News Discussion - 2023

I have to say….post 1847 was a good one. I have connections to Alaska Airlines way back in the day. Today, I am just a frequent flyer, but I have been thinking about what an AS/HA merger would look like. I had no idea this was a real thing. https://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14...

Re: Alaska Airlines Fleet, Network and News Discussion - 2023

This news about the AS/HA buy-out is very unfortunate for me on so many levels. I just hope something occurs that prevents this from happening. (From a city-centric point of view, all my optimism regarding SAN expressed up-thread in my last post, has just evaporated. All of a sudden I see AS's plan...

Re: Alaska Airlines Fleet, Network and News Discussion - 2023

As much as I would love to see a handful of Max 7's at AS, I just see a need for them. SNA can handle a Max 8 easily. I guess if AS really wanted to fly to more hot and high airports like JAC without restrictions, then they probably should consider some Max 7's. I think their orders and options all...

Re: Alaska Airlines Fleet, Network and News Discussion - 2023

I wonder if ANC-BOS_ANC might work for AS as a summer seasonal 3 or 4 weekly. Operate mid june to early september. Q3 PDEW last year on ANC-BOS was 95. Tough to fill up a 737, even with connections. If it's flown on a Saturday-only basis (like ANC-DEN/MSP/SLC) it might perform well. But then again,...

Re: Alaska Airlines Fleet, Network and News Discussion - 2023

The challenge is winter westbound. Aerolineas Argentinas is flying EZE-PUJ with a -8, which is 3,728mi*. Copa is flying PTY-SFO with a -9, which is 3,320mi. My guess is Copa takes a payload hit in the winter to SFO. Based on those distances. SEA-MBJ is 3,194. SEA-PUJ is 3,614mi. Given the headwinds...

Re: Alaska Airlines Fleet, Network and News Discussion - 2023

Pure speculation here but it appears that the 737-800 frames for freighter conversion have been chosen. According to weebly only 583, 584 and 523 do not have 2KU installed. Since 583 and 584 entered service about 15 days apart they seem to be the most likely conversion candidates I don't think AS i...

Maybe as AS gets more and more MAX airplanes, AS will consider ANC-DFW...and maybe ANC-PHX. ANC-PHX is already flown. That’s another north and south route.

ANC isn’t really out of the way at all so they absolutely could connect passengers from the L48. Delta could launch this with a 757 tho. I agree with your point with AS being able to connect passengers onto ANC-NRT from the lower 48 if AS adds ANC-NRT nonstop service, especially with ANC being loca...
