If the last union votes are any indication, at least in the past, it appears Alaska looks for pilots who might be either genuinely satisfied with a below industry standard contract or, might complain a lot but then don’t volunteer for any union work and can’t even be inconvenienced with even voting for their base or MEC leadership.
It’s apparent that at least using this metric, VX had a different model.... cause they volunteer, they vote, and they’re engaged.... and I’m stoked they’re here.
