I couldn’t take the VSA while in negotiations or when people were furloughed on the street. Nowhere have I seen such weak, passive, and enabling pilots.
Years ago, Northwest was known as the cobra airline because they struck at everything. Alaska should be known as the Card Table Airline; because, it folds like a cheap card table. Heck, I don’t even know if that’s true. I’ve never even seen you guys standup for anything.
You have to hand it to your HR. They did an excellent job accepting only those willing to settle for less in exchange for being in the PNW @ Alaska. They also did an excellent job weeding-out militant types or anyone with a back bone.
There’s a reason you’re 5th or lower, not even an also-ran, closer to the bottom, as opposed to Industry leading, Why? You did it to yourselves.
For somebody who has moved on from AS it is pretty classless of you to return to an Alaska forum to lecture, berate, chastise and humiliate the Alaska pilot group over perceived negotiating weaknesses that existed while you were here. While
some of your points are valid, now is not the time to spew your venom at a pilot group that A: You were once apart of and B: Put a very solid foot forward in the current negotiating cycle who's outcome is to be decided by a third party. You've moved on, this is no longer your fight.
