Alaska or (fill in another airline name)
In the interest of saving time and keeping our complaints on track.
Go to the other airline name you filled in, it’s better there. That includes Spirit, PSA, and Mokulele.

Alaska was doing a majority of Delta's SEA flying as codeshare, and a good portion of AA's SEA flying as codeshare.
When AK said no to doing Delta's stepped up SEA flying for them to make it into a international west coast hub, that forced Delta to grow their own metal considerably in SEA.
Now a NW wannabe based pilot has options fortunately so therefor hopefully the companies will feel the pressure over time to make sure their contracts are competitive with others in order to hire qualified pilots.

You know these things (contracts / airline biz) ebb and flow over time. 8 yrs ago if you wanted to spend your major airline career based in the NW it was really only one easy option, Alaska.

Has Alaskan ever been a destination airline?
And I don’t mean now, because clearly they aren’t now. But have they ever?
And again, this is fun.
