I disagree. Having recently joined Alaska, and having a lot of friends still looking... if your goal is the big 3, then you’re looking to build your resume by adding a Boeing or Airbus type. That is why people still go to Allegiant, Spirit, Sun Country, etc...and Alaska falls into that category as well.
I do agree that if you stay here for a bit and get some seniority under your belt that you may decide it’s not worth it to move on, and my seniority has not moved much in the last year so attrition is not a problem here.
