I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

Efficiency is all B&B care about. What is efficient for them is not in a pilot’s best interest. We must work 75 hrs a month. I hate it but those are the rules. We are always understaffed which is efficient for them but means very little trading and virtually no drops. All of it sucks but that’s reality.

Meanwhile, the average native AK pilots flys over 90 hrs credit a month, while bitcchin about it. We do it to ourselves.

Line bidding and Alaska crew scheduling is going to be very difficult on the Bus side of the house. I feel for you. Your QOL is going to go way down. I wish it wasn’t so. I expect an increase in attrition on the Bus side as men find other airlines that offer a better life.

I’m to long in the tooth to start over. I’ve been beat by them for so many years that it doesn’t even hurt anymore. But make no mistake, I give them nothing and take from them everything. I am one of the most inefficient pilots they have.
