If Alaska decided to release your records, even inadvertently or accidentally to another carrier, you cannot sue them. "Oopsies" is covered under this.
Notice how this specific release of liability section does not mention "Only to Alaska" anywhere. "Release of employment records" ...to who? Doesn't specify. AAG legal can easily spin this into a "That's not how we interpret it" if they are challenged in court.
Will Alaska try and screw you over if you get a 737 type and try to bail? I don't know, but with their shady and backstabbing Angle Lake corporate culture I wouldn't put it above them.
