Why Is Alaska Hiring so many Pilots?
Just curious, your thoughts, on why we continue to hire when we are getting rid of 10- 319s, and the Max is somewhat of a unknown. Any thoughts? Wise cracks are welcomed too!

Hopefully the company also realizes that despite no fleet decision being made yet, they still need to hire pilots for future growth plans, whatever those might be, and to keep up with attrition. It would be nice if they realized that maintaining the bare minimum of staffing levels does not mean we are "properly staffed", so I hope the hiring continues for the foreseeable future.

Ummmm.... “unrelenting completion”.... To quote Col Nathan R Jessup “Is there any other kind?”
Welcome to George Armstrong Custer Air. That worked out so well for him.

Alaska can use their hard stands all they want they are as big as they are going to get. The product is not competitive outside of the Pacific Northwest. There’s really nowhere left to go, it’ll end with either an acquisition or a slow prolonged withering on the vine.
