In his typical, seattleite, obtuse manner OTZ is trying to pass useful information.
The cliff notes from him….1) if you live east of Spokane this is not a good airline for you. 2)if you are former red tail(pre 2016) you will never have the same quality of work life again. 3) if you make an honest comparison with you friends at major airlines you will always trail 15-20%. 4) any reference to pilot hiring and contract improvement is farcical. Alaska hires so few pilots that they will never struggle to fill classes. 5)Waiting for an improved CBA to make life plans is farcical. Educated estimates are late 2023-early 2024. The last ratified contract was 2013(more commonly referred to as Contract 200)
