[Mifnet šŸ›° 74481] Re: Fw: Southwest will start Alaska flights in May

 Since I admittedly know less than nothing about how airline insurance works, 
this may be a stupid question. But I'm wondering if, for example, having an AS 
crew operating an AA aircraft required a special provision in AA's insurance.

 Hello Karl,
You are correct. Specific aircraft were in each otherā€™s OpSpec and could not be 
swapped with any available aircraft. Pax would remain on the aircraft when 
their destination was beyond SEA. Donā€™t recall whether both airlines sold seats 
on all sectors, on the other airlineā€™s flights.
Re: Continental, have to check with a colleague. There may have been a similar 
arrangement.
Keady may know about something similar when AA DC10s were offered to HA?

AA and AS essentially pooled their aircraft to operate this service. I donā€™t 
recall if there were multiple daily frequencies or it took two frames to 
operate one daily circuit. Back in the day, multii-stop flights were much more 
common and if it had the same flight number, it was on the same aircraft and 
you could stow your things and didnā€™t have to deplane at the intermediate 
stops, so there was some added benefit to operating the same aircraft from 
Texas to Alaska rather than exchanging passengers at Seattle.
 
 Ā 
 
I seem to remember that Alaska may have had a similar arrangement with 
Continental airlines to offer Houston-Alaska service via Seattle. With Houston 
as the hub of the oil industry and Alaska exploration, there was surely a 
market for such service.

Hello Karl,

AA flight numbers flown by AS crews to/from Alaska, using AA metal. AA flew the 
DFW-SEA and SEA-DFW sectors.

ļ»æHiĀ Amar!

Surely you have those flipped. If not, how did theĀ AA metal get to SEA soĀ AS 
pilots could fly it to Alaska?
 
 Ā 
 
If flipped, thatā€™s what I expected: eachĀ airline using their own metalĀ and 
pilots.

this reminds me ages ago that AA had an interchange with Alaska Airlines. AA 
flew the 727 DFW-SEA and Alaska crews took it over and flew SEA-ANC. It worked 
fine. You don't see many interchanges these days. Guess codeshare ,killed it
