I poured nearly 20 years of effort into that dream. My disappointment will not go away overnight if ever. In addition; there are a lot of pilots out there who also dream of Alaska Airlines. They need to know what the odds are too. I wish that someone had filled me in long ago.

20 years!?! How old where you when you applied? 40? I am sure Alaska would rather hire someone in their late 20s and early 30s....at least that way they can get some more time out of them. 35+ years instead of only 25 years of service would seem to be a better investment to me.
