Alaska Virgin merger

[barretcreek]

Alaska Air has announced a merger with Virgin America. Anyone in the airline industry? Virgin is notoriously anti-gun, sometimes even prosecuting passengers who have declared firearms in checked baggage transferred from other carriers. Wonder if this will affect hunters going to Alaska.

I guess will have too see what they do, as for transport, etc. Can't see how they would cut their own throats, with the amount of hunters traveling there and using that airline. Bill K

Alaska won't change, were a firearm/hunting/fishing friendly airline and that portion of travel is increasing every year. Alaska bought virgin not the other way around and we already have a fair presence in that neck of the woods.

Virgin's new-age, metro-sexual, soy latte sipping, reality-challenged ways and ideas will be just a mere memory. I wouldn't worry.

Barry, would you mind telling us how you really feel about the merger?

Just what IS metro-sexual? Only have relations in a city, only on a bus..... ?

a young, urban, heterosexual male with liberal political views, an interest in fashion, and a refined sense of taste.


You might be "metrosexual" if:

1. You just can't walk past a Banana Republic store without making a purchase.

2. You own 20 pairs of shoes, half a dozen pairs of sunglasses, just as many watches and you carry a man-purse.

3. You see a stylist instead of a barber, because barbers don't do highlights.

4. You can make her lamb shanks and risotto for dinner and Eggs Benedict for breakfast... all from scratch.

5. You only wear Calvin Klein boxer-briefs.

6. You shave more than just your face. You also exfoliate and moisturize.

7. You would never, ever own a pickup truck.

8. You can't imagine a day without hair styling products.

9. You'd rather drink wine than beer... but you'll find out what estate and vintage first.

10. Despite being flattered (even proud) that gay guys hit on you, you still find the thought of actually getting intimate with another man truly repulsive.
