Since neither AS nor VX fly widebodies, "career expectations" as defined don't come into play.
Sure, but DOH would make it simple. Everyone on the the Alaska list started with a DOH #. Heck I looked at the Virgin list and it's a mess. They upgraded a bunch of people out of seniority. So I guess seniority don't mean much over there. DOH would fix that for the VX folks who got passed over. Merit upgrades??
