Who knows, but I sure hope not…

Regardless the reason, Alaska wanted out ASAP At the end of the day, they’re just another corporation who will say and do what’s convenient for them in the current moment.

@@theonemouse The certificates will be merged in 12-18 months. The agreement in writing with the DOT lasts 6 years. After that time, yes, they're technically free to rebrand if they choose, but they'd be alienating the people of Hawaii, including local government leaders who advocated in favor of this acquisition. And let's not forget, Alaska and Hawaiian represent the proud native people of their namesake states - that's brand equity you cannot and will not throw away, ever. The names are staying. Also, there was never an agreement to keep the Virgin America name or branding, and Alaska wanted out of it because the Alaska brand was found to be stronger and more relatable by the consultants brought in to analyze both brands, AND the licensing fee to Branson was going up to 1% of combined annual revenues, which is insane.

Hawaiian had to join Alaska because SOUTHWEST has a better price point, better luggage policy (2 bags free), no fee flight change (Alaska flight change is pricey) and has been a solid airline servicing Oahu and outer islands. I've watched Hawaiian put several airlines out of business (Aloha Air, Mahalo Air, etc) by pricing them into bankruptcy, only to turn around and gouge loyal customers once the competition is gone. Let the free market dictate the best price and service. That is what gives paying customers the option to choose what airline survives. Aloha to all.

Now with all these merging, it raises the prices, and less airlines to pick and choose from. Its a monopoly at this point. However, as a former worker for Alaska and an aviation enthusiast,I am really excited about Alaska having their first widebody aircraft. I hope they actually keep them instead of keeping only 737s. I was excited when they obtained Airbus because it was finally something new to work on, and to see within the Alaska fleet. Lastly, I'm excites for how the new livery will look.

Don’t hate the player, hate the game. Take off and landing are the majority of cost for fuel burn and maintenance. Long haul is cheap for a reason.

@@mikemcd It's not just the fuel cost but the ports. Port taxes are insane.

I can't wait for this merger to happen. Hopefully, this will create more chances for South Pacific diving and facilitate travel from Fairbanks. I'm grateful to Alaska Airlines!

When I first heard the news of the merger, I felt it was bad news. I like both airlines. But it just felt I was losing something, in part because the Virgin American acquisition seemed to squash that brand and the great VA experience. Thanks, Ben, for sharing this video and your explanation. I'm still concerned, but you've caused me to be more hopeful.

This makes me sad, I left Alaska because on 2 separate occasions I flew Alaska First class and on each flight when I hit the Service or Steward call button the Stew told me not to use that button, that it was for Emergencies Only! I could not believe it, 2different flights and the same Rederic from 2 lazy Stews who did not want to be bothered or do their job! I tore up my Alaska Miles card and Swore to Never Fly Alaska again. Guess I'll be looking for another way to get to Hawaii each year!
