From: 767 Captain
From a paying customer's point of view - AS is the "everyone gets a trophy" airline.
Their definition of "elite" frequent flyer pretty much guarantees that anyone who lives in AK and makes even occasional trips to the lower 48 is going to achieve that status.
The result is that when they call the 8-12 actual first class passengers to board, in the next 2.7 second, they also call their MVP members. When that happens, 90% of the people in the board area stand up (if they're not already in the line of people waiting). Good luck in the ensuing free-for-all.
Good crews and service once you're on board, so no complaints there. I check my bag, so I don't have much experience with the latest carry-on fiasco.

It would be nice to run into a VX crew that went out of their way to be friendly. As of late, I can't even get a "hi" in return. Oh well, I've had plenty of good interactions with ExVx and won't let it poison how I view the group as a whole. OCCP, on behalf of all the AS pilots, hello, welcome to the company, I hope you have a good next flight!

Maybe that's why they don't bother to anymore?

They better get used to it; I see that attitude among the AK FAs too. Not everyone of course but, its going to be a while before we're one big family.
