Well who knows, maybe I'll try. I have several good friends there to use as recs. Even a couple I helped hire at the commuter, watched them upgrade, get their 1000+ 121 PIC and boom get hired at Alaska. One of them already encouraged me to try.
Reminds me of a Simon and Garfunkel song. Ohhhhhh, I'd rather be a gear puller at Alaska than a Captain at US, oh yes I would, If I ooonnnlly coooould, I surellly wooouuld.
