A 2% planned annual growth, a fairly modest fleet plan (except for Horizon 170s), not a lot of retirements, and no scope makes me think Alaska upgrades might be sort of slow compared to other airlines.

Everyone is going to tell you it’s under 5. For LAX. There’s no way to project it for the future. It’s remarkably low at the moment due to past hiring practices but it will increase drastically as AG sells off Airbus product and like you says adds more regional aircraft.
There is talk of a fleet plan and new mainline aircraft but I don’t believe any of it. Not until I’m sitting in the seat and the check clears.

nobody comes to Alaska because of the growth plan....thats for sure. Especially given the fact that most of the attrition is coming from Jr FOs going to the big 3. We're pretty much an 87 year old type rating factory at the moment.
