Depends on your definition of stupid. The one guy I know has been here less than 2 yrs and has no TPIC. If he wants the big 3, staying here isn’t going to cut it. Looks like he’s trying to pursue the TPIC time, and an added bonus is a flow up to AA in 5 yrs in case the big 3 don’t call him until then. What is guaranteed by staying here, he’ll be a FO for a long time and not adding anything to his resume other than worthless SIC time. (Worthless from a resume perspective for the big 3). Also from what I hear it isn’t just one guy leaving to do this, there’s at least two.


Instead of being so dismissive, why don’t you step back and look at why multiple people are leaving Alaska for a regional.
