all this contract and uniform talk is irrelevant..there will never be another contract at alaska nor another uniform worn. it may not be announced in the next few months but the days using the alaska call sign are numbered.

I would not want the union to be in charge of pilot hiring. Many different issues, liability being one. Let management hire pilots like it’s done at every other company.
And while the truth may sting, the window opens for ~150 jobs for the year and ~3000 will apply. This place will have no problem filling up seats even with the current contract, and yes many locals will apply. We have leverage going forward, but I really hope the union doesn’t stand on retention or attracting pilots as an actual issue for Alaska. It’ll be no factor with how little AS hires compared to other airlines.

At Alaska, for the last 20yrs anyway, pilots are allowed to be a part of hiring. Only as long as there are 5 applicants for every job. When it thins out HR runs the show. Management also uses pilot recruiters as internal reporters...Kinda spy like. The whole process is ultra sleazy but that is the norm....Alaska is not really the kind of airline where you care who they hire anyway
