I sincerely hope your honeymoon period outlasts your disgust for Alaska. Their contract, especially work rules, are decades behind that of any legacy/major airline. I hear the regionals have much better work rules. Crew scheduling will lie and violate the contract on a whim to move their iron and the union, more specifically, the contract compliance team who is in bed with the company will not have your back. You’ll see.
