    CORPORATE COUNSEL OF THE YEAR Keith Loveless: Outstanding Corporate Counsel (Medium size legal team) BUSINESS JOURNAL PHOTO | Dan Schlatter Keith Loveless Vice President of Legal & Corporate Affairs and Corporate Secretary Alaska Airlines Keith Loveless began his career at Alaska Air Group 25 years ago as a corporate lawyer. In 1999, he was appointed vice president of legal and corporate affairs, general counsel and corporate secretary. During his time with Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air Industries, the parent company, Loveless has helped negotiate labor and employment agreements for Alaska Airlines employees represented by a total six bargaining groups, hammer out benefits plans, navigate securities regulation and compliance and governance issues, and finance and acquire new airplanes. He has also advises the board of directors, oversees the companies ethics programs, accounting audits and safety and operational audits, and supervises litigation. “What I tell my kids I do every day is, I help run a company, and that’s how I feel about it and it’s a lot of fun,” Loveless said. Alaska CEO Bill Ayer calls Loveless “a trusted business partner.” “In addition to his high ethical standards, he brings a seasoned and balanced perspective to senior management and board deliberations that appropriately takes into consideration the long‐term success of the company as well as the legal risks,” Ayer said. “He is known for providing sound, practical advice, and his counsel is sought out by colleagues and coworkers.” Ayer also said that the Chicago native, who grew up in small towns in cotton farming and industrial northern region of Alabama, is highly unusual among corporate counsel.

  • 2008 ANNUAL REPORT North of Expected
    2008 ANNUAL REPORT North of Expected North of Expected is Alaska Spirit in action. It is simply our way of demonstrating our values and passion for providing an experience that is above and beyond the expected in everything we do. From our commitment to safety and dependability, to our compassion for those around us, North of Expected describes a unique airline, because it defines the people who create it each and every day. Over the years much has changed, but our heritage serves as our compass to point us in the right direction. The magnetic “North” of our compass is the promise we make every day to provide travel that is safe, dependable, and delivered with genuine and caring service. Combine this with a passion for innovation that makes travel easier, and we’ll chart a clear course to customer satisfaction. Alaska Air Group 2008 Annual Report Our goal is to create a diverse and inclusive environment where our people thrive in their quest to deliver an exceptional customer experience. To Our Shareholders In the face of last year’s unprecedented oil prices and the current economic crisis, it would be easy to get bogged down in the daily litany of bad news. One thing we’ve learned is — just as in flying an airplane — you have to climb above the clouds if you want a clear view of where you’re heading. We are confident in our ability to weather the current storm. And we have not forgotten that over the long term we need to run our business in a way that always puts safety first, and that provides the best air travel value for our customers, excellent career opportunities for our employees, and a reasonable return on investment for our shareholders.
