QX will not be rebranded, but the ties to the Pacific Northwest will be downplayed

AS will not be involved in a merger

AS will continue to add service to BLI, but these flights won't get the BofA Visa pitch, but the MBNA Mastercard Pitch for Canadian residents.
BLI-LAX
BLI-PHX

New routes: 2 of the following
PDX-EWR
SEA-SLC
SEA-ABQ
SEA-MRY (QX)
ANC-DUT combi service 3x weekly, continue with PenAir partnership.

New mileage plan partner. Either:
China Southern
Condor
EVA

The fleet:
1) The return of Seahawk 1 with special livery aircraft
2) Gonzaga is the first private school to score a Q-400
3) The ugliest plane in the fleet (the Alaska statehood monstrosity) will be involved in a non-fatal runway excursion in Alaska and be written off.
