During the MVP Gold lunch on Wednesday one of the AS folks noted that they were looking at four new destinations this year. My first response was ATL and while they didn't say yes, they said nothing in that way that made me think "yes".

It's really weird how they can, at times, be so misleading. I realize the need not to let your competitors know what you're doing, etc., etc., etc. but in the Alaska's World employee news source Bill Ayers is quoted as saying "we MAY add one new destination this year" then within three weeks they announce Guadalajara, Orlando and the return to Boise. It's fun to contemplate all the rumors but I usually believe it when I see it. Having said that, however, my sources haven't failed me yet..... We shall see....

Upon reading the article, it looks like what Alaska is really doing is taking away three Horizon CRJ/turboprop flights to SEA and replacing them with two MD-80's that have more seats and an Eskimo tattoo on the tail.</font>

This SEA-BOI service and the LAX-RNO service seem to bear out my thesis.

Mmmmm....I really like this. Booked a 6/10-6/11 SEA-BOI-SEA, both ways on an MD in FC. Never thought I'd be happy to book a flight on a MadDog, but I think it's great, I really dislike the regional jets. I'm only 5' 9", but I feel like a sardine in those things!
