Jump to postDoes anyone know what is going on with DL at LGB? I thought they were going to have to use slots or lose them? Have there been any new routes rumored for LGB? If Delta has LGB slots, some should be used for the unserved LGB-PDX and LGB-SEA routes that were lost when JetBlue pulled out. Southwest is...

Jump to postAny update on Alaska adding Toronto or Halifax? WOW NS to SEA ... Yep, I'm sure Toronto and Halifax are major priorities for AS right now. :roll: Maybe they'll add Toronto in the near future, but certainly not Halifax.

WN and B6 is probably the worst merger one can imagine. B6 and F9 or NK would be much better. Also eliminating that Florida competition for B6. The Biden administration is focused on expanding competition in corporate America. It’s doubtful there’ll be any mergers or buyouts approved by the Justice...

Jump to postOn the topic of WN, their PDX operations are kind of pathetic at the moment to be honest, especially during Portland's summer peak travel season period.

Good to see Alaska is backing off the idea that they have to shuttle seems like almost everyone into an overcrowded SEA.

Jump to postIf Sun Country could fill 50-75% of a 737-800 for 4x weekly PDX-BNA, than AS could easily make that 80-95%.
