Going to, from, or especially within the state of Alaska, ALK controls just about all air traffic. And what they can't handle, their partner airlines (PenAir and Era Aviation) do. They don't have a great on-time record, but given that most of the villages they serve don't have roads, that's hardly going to erode their popularity.

What's more, Alaska Airlines miles are practically a form of currency in Alaska. Everybody from hotels to the phone company to carpet cleaners give away Alaska airlines miles. If that doesn't breed brand loyalty, I don't know what does.

Oh, and did I mention that they're an airline with positive income from continuing operations and positive operating cash flow?
