Sorry Mike,

It is a sad truth. I could pick up the phone today and have a dozen qualified pilots ready and eager to take a position with Alaska Airlines (or any other major airline) at the current reduced pay scale.

I also would gladly jump at the chance to put on an Alaska Airlines uniform even thought it would mean a huge pay cut and dimmed future. Flying has a fun factor that is the biggest undermining element to pilot wages and future prospects.
