Even if the arbitrators had given the pilots everything the union asked for, our pay would have been less than Delta, American, and United. Our scope would still have been worse than those three plus Southwest.
Explain to me how Southwest manages to pay more than we do while still guaranteeing their pilots job security via ZERO outsourcing?
Alaska pilots need scope or you risk seeing more of your capacity outsourced—this should be priority number one and 86k lbs and 76-seat Scope limits are also industry standard! Get with the program!
