I have never once been in their jump seat and I do not know anyone currently working there.
Also, is Seattle a impossibly senior domicile or pretty doable?

If you are tired of the 121 regional airline that you are currently flying for, and Alaska offers you a class date before you hear from FedEx or Delta than take it...It will look good on your resume and Alaska is a great stepping-stone airline. So go for it. Not much actual pilot growth here. The effect of the VA merger and the disposal of the Airbus fleet will dampen any forward movement.
