I just try to think of this stuff without emotion. Also people who don’t work here read these boards and just like when I was on the outside looking in accurate information was appreciated. Sometimes when certain aspects of something are omitted it makes things sound worse than they are. Maybe it’s intentional, maybe it isn’t, doesn’t really matter.
If you participated in the PBS bidding and looked at the results you'd realize there is no longer a meaningful amount of open time left in the system. There is effectively zero to pick up. March and April were the last meaninful months to pick up on days off.
I agree it would be important for potential new hires to know what life is like at AS. It would be pretty important to know how you'll be treated on reserve no? Since there won't be any meaningful growth due to 737 issues. A new hire knowing that they will be sent to the most expensive base in the system that is also difficult to commute to with no sure way to raise extra funds I think is very important.
