I’m convinced Alaska has no long term plan.

There is never a plan and they are always scared. Why plan when you can just react. I still can’t believe we were not sold to Delta. We would all be way better off. VX would have been way better off too, apart of JetBlue. The only people not better off... Management, their hands would be out of the till.

Mea25000, I couldn’t agree more. Management on your side and ours screwed us all for their own personal gain.

Or at least just taken the attempt by Delta to get more "in bed" as a more exclusive code share, instead they wanted to codeshare with every competitor and not guarantee Delta the feed it needed to build more of an international gateway in Seattle, thereby forcing Delta's hand to invade Seattle, the PNW and do it's own thing.

I hope their arbitration at least leads to the worlds best compensated 737 pilots!

Mea25000,

I agree. I’d much rather be part of JetBlue than Alaska. Unfortunately all of us will be the ones who suffer when this place tanks.

Wow! I’m no company guy but some of the remarks on here are ludicrous. How would VX guys fare better at jetBlue? Do tell. The only thing common that VX and jetBlue have are airbuses and debt. VX pilots win the lottery and now you guys are *****ing? Alaskan management may be shrewd, uncaring, a bunch of conniving rats, fill in the blank, but they are not stupid. Alaskan will not tank, at least not anytime soon.

Alaskan isn’t the darling it once used to be, no doubt. With the hiring boom on the horizon, the able and the willing should jump ship. Let’s face it, VX was never a career airline. It was a slight step above a regional and far from the legacy/desirable majors. I haven’t heard of anyone choosing VX over the legacies, SWA, and FedEx/UPS. I know some of you will be butt hurt but VX boys ‘n girls should accept the fact that y’all scored big. At the end of the day, Alaskan is still a career legacy.
