Maybe some of you guys should read between the lines. BiloxiJack is offering inside knowledge and no one listens or heeds his advice.

There has to be a reason they do what they do. They still think that they are the only game in town. They want people who are willing to settle for less in exchange for being in the PNW. They put you in the pool and then, They string you along. JH literally calls it a shell game. They don't have the training capacity nor do they want to pay for more. Heck, they don't even have enough captains to cover the schedule and refuse to upgrade more. So, no training during peak summer. Instructors and check airmen back to the line.

Where you go is ultimately go is up to you. Just know what you're getting into. In today's competitive market, Alaska is not the place to be. Just ask the countless FO's who say they're waiting until the arbitration decision in October to determine if they've made a mistake (delusional- if you have to ask, you already know the answer). Or ask the countless FOs who have put their apps in elsewhere, hoping to get the call. Better yet, ask yourself why many have already left and still more are headed for the door.

The decision is obviously yours. Make it an educated one. Otherwise, if and when you're disappointed, it'll be all on you. But, you might not be disappointed at all. If you can't get on elsewhere, If you're willing to settle for less, you'll fit right in, on the Island of Misfit Toys
