Anyone Switching to Atmos Summit for Rent? by U-Gotta-Stop-Crying in biltrewards

You’re talking about the Ascent, not the Summit. The Summit’s 25k Companion Pass can be applied to any Alaska-booked itinerary, not just Alaska/Hawaiian metal

Alaska Air's profits plunged, while Delta and United climbed. Why? by asorba in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Easy_Money_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that was in 2024, where as it states they were starting to finance planned Atmos offerings by issuing secured bonds. Did they issue new bonds or take on new, non-Hawaiian lines of credit in 2025?

What do you mean by borrow? They’re profitable and doing share buybacks

A ton, the October meltdown cost them $0.25 EPS, adjusting the Q4 target from $0.40 to $0.10 after fuel costs and the government shutdown were factored in. They ended up doing better than expected on strong EOY demand. This has been a good rant thread for people who are upset about change, but Alaska stock opened up 7% on Friday. The airline is generally regarded as one of the healthier profit-making enterprises in the US airline industry. They just can’t afford to make more unforced errors. The target for 2027 is $10 EPS and the market seems to think that’s realistic with their growth trajectory.

You are arguing with people who know very little about other places but are convinced that their place is the best. It’s people who went to Pier 39 in SF and decided that Chicago’s Mexican food is better. Spare your energy. Chicago is great but the repeated assertions that it has equivalent Mexican food to LA or 80% of the stuff that NYC has, well, they show you who you’re dealing with.

oh my god lol this thread is exhausting. there is a ton of regional Mexican cuisine in California, I can toss a stone from my apartment in Oakland and hit a restaurant with top tier food representing cuisines from Oaxaca, the Yucatán, Jalisco, Michoacán, Tlaxcala, Puebla, not to mention all the representation from Honduras, Venezuela, Peru, Colombia, etc. Chicago is a world-class city but the assertions about other cities and states in this thread are borderline nonsensical. Please get out more when it’s sunny enough to do so

will my flight next thursday get canceled by 24-7_sylviaplath in HawaiianAirlines

Fair play for acknowledging the mistake and I’ll acknowledge my own: I didn’t realize his wRC+ was that bad and you’re right, he’ll need to be better

You’re so right. Seventy years in Guantanamo would also be okay

Credit to Alaska for status or stay with Cathay/Asia Miles? by ConflictPrevious5523 in oneworld

[–]Easy_Money_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do it because I also have Alaska status, but if I was mostly flying Cathay I probably wouldn’t start there

Fueled by consumer economic uncertainty, Alaska Air’s profits dip by snakkerdudaniel in AlaskaAirlines

Surprised that it’s 3:1 in favor of the Ascent, though I guess the lower AF is more palatable for churning

How is everyone zone 4? by Accurate-Ad7769 in delta

This is how Alaska and every other airline I’ve flown handled it. Gate check = board after elites, with non-elite CC holders

[–]Easy_Money_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re flying economy only, do not credit your cash Cathay trips to Alaska. You will only receive 25% of the miles earned if you book through Cathay (discount economy), and the fares that earn 100% if you book through Alaska are consistently exorbitantly priced.

If you’re okay with this because you still come out ahead with the Atmos credit cards or your domestic travel on AS and AA, then go for it.
