So which category are you in and why are you still here? Alaska airlines has been Alaska airlines since the day you stepped on property. If you’re more qualified, better adjusted, live outside the PNW, understand this career and the economics that drive it better than everyone else and hate being at this company, I ask again, Why....Are....You....here? Instead of just sitting there taking it Klsy, why haven’t you left yet? Most major airlines picked hiring back up by 2011-12. That gave you almost eight years of solid hiring to pop smoke and bail. I think you said you’ve been here around 17-18 years? We’ve had a few with more than 10 years service leave for other airlines. Why not you? Is it that you’re unqualified, awkward or lazy? This whole conversation is an effing joke. You guys are mad at management and instead of focusing you anger towards them, you’re turning on your fellow pilots, calling them unqualified, socially awkward and questioning their motives behind being here. Typically, only those whose own self esteem is low due to their personal inadequacies call into question the qualifications of others. You guys need to redirect you anger towards the ones in charge who are actually causing your grief.
