Whew..... that’s a buttload of money to pay to get rid of a competitor’s ability to expand. Gotta say though, they did an amazing job spinning it as a “growth” decision at FlightPath.
The only “growth” at Alaska comes in living on less, maximizing your 401K and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. If you think it’s gonna come via expansion/upgrade, that’s just wishful thinking.
Although I understand your angst, covid changed the plan. Covid changed everyone’s plans. 2020-2023 will be touted as years of 6% growth, just growth that doesn’t benefit you or I. These three years will be used to cross train 485 pilots. Hopefully, the real growth for us will commence again in 2024. The brightest light during this time period will be the fact that everyone was able to keep a paycheck coming in, something that was never true in the past. Relax and enjoy, hopefully better day’s lye ahead.
