For those who want to be a pilot for Alaska. This is a great company. I wish you success in your interview and hope to see you on the line.
Do you know the projected retirements at AK? Last I heard, it was a 12-15 year Capt. upgrade. Without some sort of major expansion or merger, that's going to be a lot of 737 right seat time compared to opportunities elsewhere.
I think AK is an awesome company with a great culture (for the most part), it's just that everyone is so young that it will present considerable career stagnation for the FNGs.
