Really no mystery to Alaska Airlines. Small ,conservative regional airline....Very focused on the bottom line and rewarding wall street, shareholders, directors, board members etc....Have never paid anyone particularly well...Have sat in 8th to 10th place compensation wise for my 18yrs anyway....They have a very specific target they hire: Mchordites with a side gig, Horizon convicts, Alaska pilots, Legacy Brats and for the last 8 yrs or so anyone from the lgbtq community.....If you are not in one of those categories you likely wont get hired....It assures them of a yes vote whenever they need it......The merger diversion wont change a thing around here....pay work rules retirement scope etc.....sold for a yes vote around here.....not going to change...makes it the easiest job in the world....
