If you’re a FO in your 20s or 30s, you’d be a fool to stay here. With the exception of PDX (and even that may be on the chopping block), all other AS bases are available at the big 3 pax and big 2 cargo. The big 3 retirement numbers alone justify the jump. I don’t know why young FOs would stay here.

Depends on your definition of stupid. The one guy I know has been here less than 2 yrs and has no TPIC. If he wants the big 3, staying here isn’t going to cut it. Looks like he’s trying to pursue the TPIC time, and an added bonus is a flow up to AA in 5 yrs in case the big 3 don’t call him until then. What is guaranteed by staying here, he’ll be a FO for a long time and not adding anything to his resume other than worthless SIC time. (Worthless from a resume perspective for the big 3). Also from what I hear it isn’t just one guy leaving to do this, there’s at least two.
Instead of being so dismissive, why don’t you step back and look at why multiple people are leaving Alaska for a regional.

It's EXTREMELY hard to justify leaving a top 5 carrier to go to a regional. Especially with all the speculation over what could happen in the next year or two. Everyone needs to do what they feel is right for them. But leaving here to go to a regional is worse than bypassing upgrade at a regional.

Well, really they're leaving AS for AA. They're just accepting a paycut, some flow risk, and a delay in the process. Risky, but there's a potential payoff if you're young enough to get to WB CA and spend some time there. Calculated risk vs. gain, but not necessarily stupid.

This rhetoric is embarrassing! No wonder our management thinks we are a bunch of spoiled babies. You all whine and whine like children. I am a multimillionaire in large part do to this bottom feeder airline. Are you all this far out of touch?
