Very interesting comment. The only two near-term scenarios I could see would be Allegiant offering 757 service to Hawaii from Boise (as there is no nonstop competition, and our market would fit their business model), or Alaska Airlines offering 737-800 service to Maui nonstop, as there's been a lot of rumor and hearsay that Alaska/Horizon could be growing in Boise over the next few years. I'm more inclined to believe he was referring to Allegiant as I'm not sure the 737 has the range to reliably make it to Hawaii nonstop. But I could be wrong.

Interesting comment, nonetheless.

I'd bet on Allegiant.

Where would Alaska expand? They've been more inclined to cut in the last decade and have tried expansion before.
