Or it's just typical Alaska Airlines BS. They always come up with HUGE hiring numbers for the next year and then they fizzle.
They tried to feed us some real horse manure in my new-hire class in 2006. We were all going to upgrade in 3 years. None of us believed it. Their numbers didn't make sense. They would have had to hire 30+ a month. They could barely handle 12 new-hires a month.
Just a load of BS from flight ops & Angle Lake as usual. Things are going to be great... until they aren't.
What a bunch of clowns.
