It sounds like you’re having a tough go of it here at AS. Everyone is going to have a different view of this place. I probably have a rosier perspective than many because I live in base and was hired at a time of relative progression. I’m able to get out of the company what I need to keep me content and have made my peace with staying and fighting for better. However, I’m not blind to the weaknesses of our contract. AS is not a commuter friendly airline. It seems like you’re screwed on one end of any trip, if not both ends. The rsv rules are poorly written and there are way too many loopholes with vague language. Again, I have a different perspective because I didn’t spend much time on rsv and was driving to a line pretty quick. I’m not sure how long it’s taking new hires to get off rsv these days but it’s probably extended with our pull back in growth. I’d be lying if I said it’s gonna get better because it’s impossible for anyone, (OTZ

), to know. I look at AS as a much better down economy airline than it is an up economy airline. IMO, we’ll never experience the extreme lows that the bigger airlines tend to go through but we’re never going to see the high water mark either. I’d like to think we’re going to pull our collective heads out of our shell and hold the line in 2020 but... we’ll only know when the dust settles. If I can try and answer any of your questions or shead light on any part of the contract, I’d be happy to. Feel free to PM me.
