Then we know you'll be willing to take it from alaska for years to come."
Alaska is the fat ugly girl of the airline world, she should take what she can get.
Do yourself a favor, don't make the lateral regional to regional move by coming here. Keep chipping away at delta or united.
I completely understand your point of view and appreciate your honesty. On my side I have to consider my age 45, QOL with a base in LAX ( I live in San Diego) and the fact i’m Working for pennies now and need to feed my family. Delta, United ,AA and southwest are not calling so.....
I’m sure there is not a perfect airline and maybe , based on your comment seems like Alaska has some problems, but in my case is a step up. I never expect with my experience and qualifications to have to go through a regional first and instead here i’m. So hopefully I will have a great opportunity and will pass my pre- interview and if something better will come in the future I will be ready to jump on it
