1 in 10 people fly with this Airlines? (in the USA 35/330 million?)

In a lot of ways this airlines "alaska" is the future of the "middle class" airlines?

At first I was very impressed by the statistics for Alaska Airlines wikipedia page. But then I realized that whats important is where someone flys to now how many people. It seems that Alaska's general "philosophy" since about 2016 has been to "increase" customers and lower profits margin. While their "brand name" is perhaps fundamentally about "location?"

Alaska Airport Hubs are some of the busiest in the USA.
Los Angeles International Airport
Portland International Airport
San Francisco International Airport
Seattle–Tacoma International Airport

With "focus cities" being oddly... (dry) San Diego International Airport and thankfully San Jose International Airport?

The other interesting point is that Alaska has "less planes" then lesser known airlines like the "SkyWest Airlines". In fact SkyWest in a lot of ways is the "bond servant" for the local connecting flights that make "Alaska" important. It maybe doesn't make sense for "airlines consolidation" because it helps to have "mini-up-and-new" airlines like SkyWest who also "helps" Delta and United. So in a lot of ways Alaska still "is" a "cargo" airlines with "Asia" and that in fact "helps everyone".

I was recently thinking about "sailing" to Asia on a small sailboat for fun and realized that "the only real way" to safely travel and also "see land" would be to sail the Aleutian Islands "in Russian" literally "Land of the Frozen Islands?".
These "Archipelago" islands connect up with Japan and later Taiwan in some VERY mysterious sense perhaps also "Alaska" and "Alaska air"? The quest to build airports on a a chain of 14+ large volcanic islands and 55 smaller islands maybe part of Alaska Airlines "recovery" business plan?

Price of Stock REVIEW:
What really surprised me most about Alaska was two statistics. 1. they are a "mid" class company of the larger companies the airlines has about the 1/2 way point in profits, people, income and other financial facts... so they are "in the middle". 2. I was very interested to see what was going on with "volume" and the accumulation ... I was very surprised that alaksa didn't loose very much money after the 2008 "crash" that was perhaps more of a serious high level "business" problem then the problem we see today in terms of a "global" psychological problem and connection of "mass housing debut" and "crisis". The other really interesting thing about the crash of 2008 is that it actually started 2 years before in 2006 not in 2007 like most people believe .. this is from the perspective of Alaska Air? (see data on accumulation and distribution of stock price/volume in graph above?)

When I read on Alaska's personal website that they have "received" $992 million in the form of some type of "money" from the USA government I was very surprised because I thought "only" a few trillion TOTAL was going to be given out to the entire economy and the news report on their website makes it seem like 1/2 of the total 2 trillion all goes to alaska? this maybe needs some details to explain the truth of what is really going on... and also some idea of why the 2008 crash at least according to the data (showin on this stock graph shows no major impact... in alaska?

What's really shocking about this payment by the US government is that this goes "exclusively toward continuing to pay employee salaries, wages and benefits" and not keeping the fairs low for example so everyone else can keep flying...? Perhaps the the "fed" can review this "agreement" or contract and make sure the prices to fly are "low"? New was released on their website on 4/23/2020? Its not that interesting or helpful but it does "say they got thin buck bucks" from the air or DC fed heaven?

Whats most horrifying to me is that the stock "exploded" upwards after 2009 going to $100 per share and I have no idea what the EPS or P/E ratio was? Today the price is at about "$20.00" and the "values" are back to about 2010 to 2012 meaning that about 8 years have already been "missing?"

In a lot of ways this airlines "alaska" is the future of the "middle class" airlines?

It would be interesting to hear others ideas on how to "price" the value of Alaska?

Hope this helps!

Asher. :)
