Hiring like mad, just like every other regional out there. With the exception of ANC, new hires can get any base they want in the system.
Yes, even SEA and PDX. From day one.
No news on expansion...yet.
Three years in at this place for me. Happy I'm here. Good company, good pay, decent contract. Upgrade time is high, but it's ticking downward. I'd say get your app in and enjoy living in base. Beats commuting to fly a fifty seat RJ that's on the verge of extinction.
