Not that it matters, the future will likely bring a combined Alaska Blue a Virgin airline. Go to whichever you think will win the seniority integration.
There’s not a single post from this guy that isn’t negative. I commute from the Midwest and wouldn’t trade Alaska for a shorter JFK commute for B6. Financially it’s better at Alaska, our rates as an FO are better we have better 401k matching and were in early negotiations for a contract that will be better than what we have. Does Alaska need a lot of work absolutely but none of these places are leaps and bounds better than the others by any large margin. So if you want to live and work on the West Coast and you have to pick between AS and B6 it’s a no brainer AS. FWIW I have a friend who is dying to leave B6 for AS so he can move back to the West Coast.
