Suggested Questions to Be Asked of AS Executives by In-Person Attendees
What was submitted from Remote participants:
Link to the presentation: Alaska Airlines Flyer Forum 2022 - YouTube
- The Elite Upgrade Processor does not upgrade at the elite windows when upgrade space is available and often process the upgrade list inconsistently when it does run. This has been a problem for well over a year. When will this be fixed?
- What are the plans for overall network growth (% increase in flights) for 2023 and 2024? Is the focus more flights to existing cities?
- What are the growth plans for SFO? LAX?
- What are the plans for Dallas Love Field (currently only one flight daily to SEA and SFO)?
- Please describe what *if any* plans exist for improving SEA ops in winter weather conditions … the chaos that has rippled throughout the entire system for nearly a week after the last four or five wx events — many of which actually didn’t develop as badly as initially forecast — has left a *very* bad impression of all aspects of AS operations and management
- Going forward, will AS allow mixing partner award flights? Like SEA-LHR on BA, then LHR-KUL on MH on a single ticket?
- Regarding Partner Award availability, are there any plans to make it easier for Seattle-based members to get to major U.S. gateways (e.g., LAX, DFW, ORD). In other words: why is there rarely/never award space at the right level to us get to these gateways?
- What are the expansion plans for PAE? Are Spokane and Portland possibilities?
What was submitted from Remote participants:
- How dependent on the network growth plan is the MAX assembly and delivery schedule?
- What will it take to display "real" EQMs (e.g. No California Bonus) and AS metal segments required for elite tier status in the Alaska App?
- A round robin question to each executive, non-binding answer of course, what airport would each exec like to see a new Alaska Lounge at?

I got the invite complete with an address. Honestly I miss the Gold lunches - I think this is some attempt at something like them. I’m also a selected user of the electronic bag tag. I’m very curious to see how it goes.

Didn't get either.. I wonder if they are excluding people who have had significant customer service issues in the past few months, or something?
Anyone with either of the in-person or online registration links feel like sharing them (privately would be fine if you don't feel like posting)?
*edit* just kidding - gmail search didn't pick it up, but I have the online version in my inbox. as others have reported, no way to actually rsvp though

i didn’t file any complaints other than some web site issues when they butchered their web redesign.

My husband gets invited to everything but I (female) only get rocks. We have identical status, though he’s probably nicer.

How did they decide who gets the invite? My husband got one, made MVP for the first time. I didn't even though I'm a 100k flyer this year, and 75K for the last three years. Ironically, it doesn't matter anyway because I will be on an Alaska flight the day of the meeting.
