In the end, as a stockholder, you are well remunerated for an air carrier, with plenty of room for dividends to grow.

It is a very attractive business for the younger generations, who are quickly taking over the labour markets. There is a major downside that the Virgin America business will not go well. In order to be honest, they are flying different aircraft (Alaska is proud to be flying Boeing from Seattle while Virgin America is flying Airbus), have different computer programs and are flying to other parts of the world.

Moreover, this acqusition only strengthened its West Coast position and protected it from the others. Admittedly, ALK had to take a certain guilt for Virgin America.
