I'll make my predictions based on LAX
+AS continues to cut Mexico service
+AS/QX takes over LAX/SNA-SJC from AE
+AS moves to Terminal 6 in Nov. [not sure if that qualifies as a prediction
]
+AS takes over some DL mainline routes [MSY, MCO, IND] at LAX to allow DL focus on expanding Int'l service at LAX [perhaps in 2011]
+A new vacation destination out of LAX [BZE, MBJ, SJO, or whatever]
+LAX-ANC goes year round
+AS/QX ditches LGB
+AS prepares to shift focus from PDX to LAX for 2011 and starts a website
www.alaskaair.com/lax [they will have room to add 30+ flights a day when they move into T-6 since they will have rights to the same # of gates in T-6 that they currently have in T-3 and DL will give AS rights to their T-6 gates]
Other Predictions
+MVPG change fees does not change [still free]
+BoardRoom initiation fee waiver for MVP/G reduces [will cost more for MVPs and MVPGs due to new tier]
+Award redemption fees does not change [still free on AS except for tax and $25 for partners+reservation fee]
+Baggage fees for non-elites goes up
+Reciprocity on AA except for upgrades
+QX paints a plane in USC livery and flies the plane SEA-BOI-PDX-EUG-SEA-PLW-SEA daily just to tease die-hard UW, WSU, UO, OSU, and BSU fans
+AS improves F soft product on transcons [hot towels, special premium drinks like Margarita or Martini, etc] to remain competitive with other airlines who offers flights with Int'l hard products
+QX changes their seats and installs the same seats Colgan uses
+AS and Emirates drafts a codeshare agreement in preparation for when Emirates starts SEA service.
+AS ends partnership with BA due to their diluted redemption value [fuel surcharge] and limited RDM opportunities [25% RDM for all non-full fare classes]
Some wild predictions here, but nowhere near
