Next is the crowd that the new contract will try to get to stay (though some will still leave), the mid seniority crowd of 5-9 years. 4 yrs or less? Revolving door. AS will have to sell its bases (PDX and ANC being sole major pax carrier bases) and its large SEA base as reasons to come and stay here. Sounds like they’ve been doing that already. I wouldn’t be surprised if one day it goes to zip code hiring.
