You can thank CEO Brad Tilden for his misguided and ineffective management of the airline. CEO Tilden simply has simply overcommitted Alaska Airlines.
I feel for the original poster. In short, he's screwed.
If ATL doesn't support two flights a day, year round, why should AS commit to two flights a day? Seems like this is good aircraft utilization to me, exactly what we expect AS to do. As far as I can see the acquisition of VX has exactly nothing to do with it. I used to fly this route a lot and back then it was only one a day to ATL.
