Do you honestly think Alaska is carrying significant connecting traffic from back east on their Hawaii flights?
"Hey, honey, instead of taking the nonstop out of (O'Hare or American or United/Newark on Continental) for our honeymoon in Hawaii, let's connect in Seattle on Alaska! I know you've never heard of these guys, but it'll be fun!"

I do mention 75K along with Gold's and MVP's in our 10K announcement after takeoff, however, it is not written that way and I have suggested to our Inflight Management with our next Announcment revision we add "75K" to our 10K announcement.
I do think it is a milestone to reach our 75k level and make it a point if I am the "A" Flight Attendant to take the time to visit our 75K's in the main cabin.
I would like to thank all of your who continue to support Alaska Airlines! Please take the time to write into Customer Care with your concerns regarding anything in your travel experience, both North and South of Expected!

It would drastically reduce cargo capacity which is where AS makes money up here. Perhaps cargo loads have dropped in the economy but they will eventually pick up...then what? pull out QX and bring AS back up? Maybe they are looking at the southeast area as opposed to places like BET, OME, FAI, and SCC :/ .....NAC would love to see QX take over those routes

I have heard that QX is coming to JNU within the next few years. Among other things, time is needed to work out technical details such as how the prop planes will operate in an RNP environment. JNU will become more of a commuter hub, with the props generally replacing jet service to smaller communities (e.g., WRG, PSG, YAK, and maybe even SIT to some degree). The jets will stay for flights to ANC and SEA. Not sure about KTN.

So, did no one bring up the possibility of more than one "Complimentary drink" on the flights? Trans cons can last up to six hours plus. ANC-SEA is three hours plus. Drink carts come through up to three times. Digiplayers are pretty much useless if you fly at the 75K level. It seems to me that one free drink per cart is not unreasonable. I can buy mini-bottles locally for 99 cents (but would go to jail if I self serve). AS probably pays less. Once on the plane in coach AS really does not offer much to the 75K's.

Haven't been on on of my flights lately!!!
