Slight thread revival on the Alaska vs Delta front - from a "who would I want to work for" perspective. I'll be a mil retiree at the end of the year and moving back to the NW, regardless of who I manage to fool into hiring me .

Besides the obvious "go to work for whoever hires you" advice, I'd like to know what makes Alaska a great place to work given their lower pay rates compared to Delta. I'll trade cash for QOL, but is there really that much of a difference between the two? My Delta buds claim folks are getting to SEA within a year....but obviously Alaska employees on this board are pretty happy with their job.

Appreciate any enlightenment.
