Alaska Trip Mix
 

What's the trip mix like at Alaska? Mostly interested in SEA. Is it mostly/all 4 days and 3days? Any 2 day, locals or CDOs offered?

Thanks for the info.

SEA has everything. 1, 2, 3, 4 day trips. CDOs in the sense you fly a turn through the night, like SEA 11pm to ANC or something and back in the morning around 7-8am.

Next round of newhires will get the Bus in SFO or LAX.

Thanks for the response! That's good to hear. Is SEA 737 pretty senior?

Assuming one is awarded the Airbus as a new hire, is there a seat lock? What’s the estimate on the time to hold SEA 737?

There is a 2 year seat lock when you change equipment. I'm not certain if that applies to new hires or not, but I assume it does. I'm sure someone here does know, and will chime in. As far as holding SEA absent a seat lock, that number is going to be a moving target. I am at about 18 months now on the bus and was not anywhere near able to hold Seattle on the last bid. However this was the first bid where we could switch equipment, and it was a small bid. Once all of the Airbus PNW commuters (there are a bunch) get the chance to bid to where they want to be, I would imagine that number will come down.

Seat lock does not apply to new hires.

737 SEA or LAX was the jr seat when I was hired.

If you’re jr in SEA expect a lot of red eyes

As others have mentioned, the jr seat is now Airbus SFO

Sea normally has around 30% red eye/WOCL. No WOCL override pay at AK. Line holder average days off is 14.xx, TAFB around 290.

And it should be 16-17 days off for the same pay like ALL OUR PEERS at the other airlines!

UNITY 2020!

NOOB's, keep your other apps updated. This place is stagnant AF. They hire SkyWest to do our flying and then they call it "growth".
