Just my .02. Why would any qualified applicant come to Alaska? I can only think of one reason-PDX base. Alaska offers zero incentive and just a mediocre career. The BOD and upper management really screwed the pooch this time. BM says we will "over hire". I'd like to know from where? Majority of the pilots commute and Alaska's bases are located in some of the highest cost of living parts of this country. This place will shrink and hopefully be absorbed by a real airline run by management with a vision and a brain. It's looking more like Compass every day.
