All the above. I started at VX at 27. If I was 27 today starting at Alaska, I’d be gone in a heartbeat to the big 3.
The attrition isn’t sustainable, and the solution will involve something Congress isn’t willing to do at the moment. Kill the 1500 hr and go the MPL route like in parts of Europe. 250-500 hrs straight to A320/B737 sims and then fly the line.
