That’s because there is nothing positive to say about Alaska, plain and simple- and yes other airlines are leaps and bounds better by a large margin.. our contact isn’t even remotely close to our peers... our contract is even subpar to most regional contracts. The minute that there is something positive to say about Alaska, I will gladly say it.

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.
