Our entire network exists in one time zone in terms of pilot bases. We don't have junior bases or senior bases the way all other airlines have for that reason. If you live in SEA or one of the outposts then it is a good thing. Otherwise, as an outsider , all of our bases are equally undesirable. Only reliable thing at Alaska Airlines is pay day
