What is sad is all the crusty guys complaining about Alaska but don't move on? Are you that much of a terrible pilot that you can't get to an airline you identify with or agree with in terms of pay and work rules?
There are 1000s of pilots wanting to be part of Alaska.
I’ve been here for over 3 years and I’m not exactly crusty but I can see the rust developing. I spent the money on airline apps and I’m hoping to get a call from United. They didn’t call me for years before so I’m not sure why they would call now. Hopefully I can get on the list for the chief pilot meet and greet. That seems to make the biggest difference.
If I’m still here trying to give people factual examples of what life is here it isn’t because I didn’t try to leave. I guess it means I’m a terrible pilot. I must have slipped through the cracks to get hired here however?
