Alaska has already ratified a new contract. And that is great news. I don’t know how long until the big 3 sign papers…. Probably not imminent, but it’s on the horizon. Either way; the company carrot of a new contract in Late 2023, won’t hold much water compared to hiring goals at the legacy’s.

The biggest issue I’d have for a year 1-4 pilot here is the total lack of control you’d have over your pay. If min guarantee was more, it’s no concern.

But, you are gambling with $30,000+ in soft money… pay is at the whim of computer software, fleet utilization, demand, MX,
Someone had to take the first bullet.

Alaska will be sorry it rogered up a new CBA so quickly.

Not bad pay for a big regional airline…
