Bully for you but perhaps consider:
  • Not accusing others of being "loyalists" when they articulate something you don't personally agree with, then out of your next breath self-identify as a "loyalist"
  • Consider the possibility that Alaska Airlines might actually be larger than SAN

Ummm... I can't even fathom how you've ascertained this from anything I've written in this forum recently, on this topic. It's literally like yelling into the wind. You just seem to be in complete denial that AS can make any mistakes at all. It's honestly kinda hard to take you seriously at this point. I mean from the "Any plane is safe that AS flight crew deems safe" (even if it, you know, ultimately isn't and a door plug blows out the side of it) to acknowledging that AS had a "failed VX strategy" in one breath but then somehow believing their HA strategy is "magical" in the next breath. Good grief, I feel like I'm debating the AS marketing director...

As stated, I like AS, I fly AS. This does not mean AS is immune to any criticism or questioning.
