Howdy y’all. Considering making the jump but have some concerns about the doom and gloom that is AS currently. Born and raised in the PNW and the goal is to return eventually. Currently an E175 CA with a CL-65 type to pair and low PIC time. I enjoy sitting in the left seat and my airline has aviate but is really struggling to attract and retain pilots like many regionals right now. Pilot group has shrunk almost 25% with a massive training back log and unable to swiftly get new hires up to speed. I’m worried it’s starting to sink and quicker then expected. Grew up seeing Alaska and occasionally riding on them and always enjoyed my experience and the crews whenever I JS. Great base locations but obviously the major issues between management and the pilot group coupled with AS’s content-ness to not grow and maintain size while LCC’s merge and potentially begin to push into their route territory worries me about AS as a long term location. Got apps out at UAL, DAL, and AS currently with interview offer for F9. 24 Y/O, 3,800TT, 2,300 121, 300 PIC, and two types. Any advice would be great. Just don’t know to stick it out and continue to accrue PIC or try and get to AS and at least be somewhere that if **** hits the fan I’m content with being.
