I'd be surprised to see JetBlue top AK's rates.
We would have easily achieved ALASKAS rates if we gave up 4-days off and conceded our healthcare to something on par to JetBlues. Give up 4-days off, healthcare and have ZERO scope like Alaska and we would have easily surpased ALASKAS “rates”.
So for any Alaska guy or JB guy to come on here and bash this TA is LAUGHABLE.
