Let's see, to an MD88 to NYC, as you said you would not want in another post???

And, too bad your info is wrong ... newest Captain at Alaska has been here 8 years, 6 months, and will likely hold any base they want this fall. Many chief pilots think it will soon come down to 5 years.

Also, Alaska is hiring a lot, too ... I have been here a little over 20 months, have 300+ pilots beneath me on the seniority list (I am around 80% seniority in the company), and I am at 50% seniority in base.

I did the math for you, Baja.

For those thinking about coming to Alaska, it is a great place to be (note, I did not say perfect, but even the almighty Delta Airlines isn't perfect ... ).

For those of you who hate it here, work to make it better, or leave. Those who identify problems but don't suggest solutions are complainers, and no one wants to be around someone like that. I started here at 48 years old, so if you are younger than that, I challenge you to go to those greener pastures -- everyone is hiring, and as Baja says, you could be a captain at DAL in a year or two, probably even in SEA in the E-190.
