As long as Seattle is where you want to be and you are going to live there you will have a fine career….The other bases are really just parking spots for 737’s at night. You will find nearly zero marketing effort except SEA. We have no O&D market west of California or East of Washington. We haul people east and the haul them back.
Alaska is the master of this strategy and we make good profits doing it.
So if living and flying out of SEA is your goal than we are as good as it gets. We do have a ton of nepotism in SEA or legacy brats as they are known as outside of King county….They are dxperts on everything…as long as it has to do with SEA and Alaska Airlines in SEA
Good luck on your endeavors and if you choose Alaska…..for all the right reasons then welcome aboard
