What was the response? Something in the area of...
"We want our pilots to live in domicile so you 80% commuters from Virgin America are f^(%d? We don't care about your quality of life or family, we just want to build the most efficient pairings we can in order to reduce costs."?
Knowing Alaska management, and I guess I don't blame them, that would be pretty close?

147 + 27-33 open flying lines = 180
68 on RSV a little fat but it’s that time of year. AS is expecting 30 VX pilots to walk in the next 12 mos. If Airbus doesn’t come back with a good number $$$ on switching all those 320 options to 321. You will all be slowly reduced to the Boeing side. There will be no furloughs.

Was the mock bid inaccurate as to open flying lines? How many lines did SEA have for June and how many open lines were assigned?
Even 70 is more than a little fat. The Captain side in SFO has been doing it with high 20s to mid 30s for a while.
Im sure the daily reserve buffer will STILL be red on a daily basis.😜

LAX based here, all I've seen are nice people on both sides and all of us realize that we have no control in this. We chat with VX guys in the crew room and on the buses to layovers, and they chat with us. I'm assuming this toxic environment is really just on APC from some internet tough guys.
