That doesn’t sound right. The last time I remember going through the process, it was through the Alaska web site. But it may have changed (again) since then.

Thanks much! Any idea about how long on reserve?

A year to year and a half.

Depends what base. LAX I was holding an open flying / relief line right away.

Both. Take the first available upgrade and fly your tail off. If AS calls make the decision then, but hopefully Delta calls first.



This is good advice. You’ll never get any PIC time at Alaska once these lists merge so get it while you can and then apply at a real legacy.

What is predicted upgrade time for a new hire with the merger?

There’s no real mainline growth so i think it will be a long time. Upgrade times are dropping everywhere, but will be increasing here

Guess that is why there where 30 extra lines in the December bid package.

7-10 years. Same as everyone else. Delta is an anomaly that will not last.
