My point is to spread the facts about ones real chances of making it to a better job in this industry. To inform on what kind of sacrifices and costs are required in order to put your cards on the table. And what life is like along the way.
I am not stupid. I have already paid my dues. Alaska Airlines has my resume and if magic strikes I will not turn it down. However I am not going to waste another day of my life standing in line at some miserable regional or start up anymore. At some point you have to stand up for yourself and save what life you have left.

SkyHigh,
You obviously meet the requirements to get hired by Alaska, or you would not have gotten an interview with them. But, how long ago was it, since you have put in your resume? How much recency of experience do you have? Sometimes reaching a dream involves some sacrifice. I'm don't mean going and flying for a regional again, but some kind of flying job would probably be beneficial. As someone pointed out, Alaska is supposed to be hiring in pretty good numbers.
