The excuse making of why Alaska lags behind in contracts needs to end. Today.
well Alaska is different from the other airlines you mentioned.. Alaska is still here. To get a better contact you have to be willing to burn the house down. The older pilots with their pensions were not willing to do that. So, we have the contract they gave us.
They are now the minority and changes are coming. We will fight as hard now as they should have fought then. But they had other objectives.
