Packrat please enlighten us all on your illustrious career. Someone asked where you work and unless I couldn't find it our it was simply hidden, you never answered. Instead you have done nothing but complain, insult and ***** about a company you don't even work at. You even make assumptions about someone's base just because they hold christmas off and guess what, your assumption was wrong. So, please, continue to tell the world everything you know about Alaska Airlines even though you don't work here, or, you could just shut your mouth and talk about something you actually do know about. You're obviously bitter and you're obviously ignorant, please do us all a favor and cease commenting as though you are an exper witness on something you obviously know jack about.
