No arguing the ride you have had and the fortune that has come your way. You fall in to a very small group at this airline. The “one percenters” as they have always been called by those of us that have been “out based” all these years. All you and the rest of the club there at headquarters needed out of this last run at a contract was tweaking….And you got it. That is all. Suffice to say that the ever growing population of non PNW pilots at Alaska needed a whole lot more. And we didnt. That is all. Quality of life. Fear Factor ruled the day. Common theme. It is all that got the passing vote.
