Shy and many others coulda put in a lot more effort and moved on to another carrier and been in a better position than uprooting his entire family for Alaska. Instead there is a lot of truth to the saying the miserable folks at Alaska post contract, expecting the pilot group to do any sort of heavy lifting was just not going to happen.
I went to job fairs too. You aren’t the only special thing. You too didn’t get hired at Delta in the 2016-2019 timeframe either. You left in the post pandemic staffing crisis at the majors. Sorry, but let’s call a spade a spade here.
And I uprooted my family for Virgin. Moved to SFO first. Then NYC opened and moved there. After closure, moved again to LAX. I’m not built for a long term commute. Wife’s job can be done anywhere so we will always move to base. I signed up for what was a west coast airline so I know what I signed up for.
