I was hoping that things have changed for the better since my departure but nothing seems to have changed except for the increased tension. No one to blame but the management for sure. One thing that I took away from my short time there is that Alaska management promotes a toxic culture, especially Beanito M. He encompasses zero leadership and I would, without hesitation, label him as the Antichrist of all management. In this day and age where even the most anti-labor management is putting up a concerted effort to bring labor together and to attract pilots, BM & BT are pushing away the very work groups who are their true and loyal work horses. Sadly, it's a recipe for failure. For the sake of my friends and an airline I truly wanted and tried to be a part of, I sincerely hope that the board of directors and management can get their act together.
On a different note, the grass is much greener on this side. It's so green, it smells like money!
