I have said this before, "It is an O.K. job and it could be worse." My buddy who went to Airtran at the same time has been a captain for 4 years now. It will probably take me 9 years if I want to upgrade in SEA. I do understand for the industry 9 years is better than average. Alaska is a conservative company and will always be. Don't look for much hiring any time soon or any growth.
I understand that most of what is written on here is personal opinion, but, has anyone heard anything official or heard from someone in Alaska management what their plans for hiring are this year?
