He'll need it. From what I understand he's weak in the 37. He'll need all the help he can get to get through His training. 😂

Give me a break, very few if any will bid the 320. I think you guys did pretty good, most of the next 200 upgrades will be VX pilots? Am I missing something. I think if I were a VX FO I would be dancing in the street!

The VX CA’s got the big firehose. Not sure what you’re looking at. As far as the FOs? Pretty much even steven. No dancing nothing. Besides, the VX FOs did have a lot to lose compared to AS. Now it’s time to sew the wounds up and ban together and conquer.

Ha, this is probably true. However, a lot of you 320 FO’s are about to get a 737 CA position very soon. I will be the one making sure you get through the program, making sure you get a fair deal, making sure it’s a good experience for you, making sure your comfortable in your new seat and in your new aircraft. I really do want to see you all do well!

Simple. They should bid the first 737 system upgrade bid. Problem solved.

As a 737 guy with thousands of hours my only question is why?


I guess if you like:

Bumping your head on the overhead.
A choice between recline or aft movement of the seat.
The very exhilarating sound of air - lots and lots of very loud air.

A choice of too hot or too cold for the cabin.
Getting very intimate (not by choice) with any unfortunate jumpseat riders.
Aviation nostalgia (AKA 737 overhead panel).
The challenge worthy of a gymnast getting in and out of your seat.
The worlds smallest Lav - with a bonus toilet seat that will not stay up.
A VNAV system that will keep you on your toes.


I guess to be totally fair bumping your head on the overhead only applies to Pilots taller than 4' 11".


Only kidding (sort of) the 737 is fun to fly. Good luck to all the Alaska Pilots!

I’m legacy AS and I ended up in a worse position than the AS proposal and the VX proposal. I’d have been better off if Alaska ALPA has just taken Virgins proposal.

I love arbitration!!!! I’m so tired of all the winning we are doing!
