If they would ever write consistent & pure 3 on / 4 off lines worth 75-78 hours, I would bid those and save them and myself the time with step trading. But, since they insist on writing loaded lines, some of us have to put in the extra effort to whittle away at them by any means necessary (carry-in trips, bidding lines with trips that are easy to give away, sprinkling vacation days here and there, etc.).

I get it. It’s just somewhat laughable that Alaska guys act like this step trading bs is some sort of awesome thing that makes them superior.
Almost every single aspect of this “legacy” contract is worse than what us loser vx’ers had. I hope most AS folks finally grow a f-ing spine in 2020. But judging by the pm’s I get I don’t think that will happen. They seem to indicate that they’re unhappy but expect the Virgins to lead the charge.

I hear you man. On a side note, It’s sad to watch this airline drive itself into the ground. Mgmt successfully pitted all employee groups against one another and no one gives a s h I t anymore. Just today on the VX side, they are cold calling Ca, fo’s, and inflight on their days off trying desperately to get people to jumpseat to random cities to work certain flights out before they cancel. Creating an airline people love....

No vision...
The PNW customer loyalty is going to dry up soon and that's when these bean counters will finally cash out.

They are short pilots? Then why are they cancelling new hire classes? Thats frustrating for those of us hired in Feb.

It’s frustrating but part of the reason is there’s going to be 40 ish percent or more on reserve in sfo once we get to September due to interior changes and painting. At least there’s no involuntary downgrades or furloughs yet
