The one pilot who left for SWA in the last 12 months? Possibly, that is a good reason to give up seniority. Commuting can be rough.
Upgrade is years sooner at Alaska. Also, it pays a lot more. Sorry to hear about the reduced growth forecast at your shop. Seems like the upgrade number will be going up again? Still hopeful that SWA gets an industry leading contract. Headwinds seem to be starting now however.
