For anyone under 50, it would behoove you to seek employment at the big 3, FedEx and UPS. No job is perfect but one can have a significantly better career at these airlines. Do you want to work at 7-Eleven or Costco? This TA will pass and the mindset of this management will never change. In the next year, Alaska will be back to being a solid mediocre airline to work with an ever increasing number of grievances.
