To the intelligent individuals who have written about their disappointment today, I've been where are you are and I feel for you. The only encouragement I can provide is "don't allow the job to define your happiness." I wish you well and will support your fight in 2020.
If you read my post, I'm no longer with ALK. You are in dire need of reading comprehension skills. I have left for greener pastures. Even though I'm no longer part of ALK, I have respect for the people there and quite frankly, they have a great business model. The numbers speak for themselves. I still have friends there and I wish them the best.
You are obviously the emotional type and like to shoot from the hip. True, JBLU is younger and bigger but their spread sheet is far from stellar. Without getting into details, JBLU is another stepping stone airline and is not structured to withstand another economic down turn/major terrorist attack. ALK management chose to turn their airline somewhat into a stepping stone airline for the time being but it will turnaround for them. Stats and numbers don't lie. JBLU is just another inflated LCC. Again, look at the numbers and you'll see. If you still think that your dick is bigger, you may want to take off those bifocals.
