coming up on 21 years. have commuted 19 of those. most flying at Alaska just pays block. I credit between 75 and 80 hrs a month.
have never cracked 300k even with PBP.(we dont have profit sharing). almost no opportunity to earn above block at Alaska. Seattle Captains brag the most. they live around pilots at the big airlines. they hoar themselves to make those numbers. they fly FAR max.
really simple why most parts of our contract is 20 yrs behind the times.

I got more soft time at my regional. If you don't include deadheads I RARELY make a cent over block. So just multiply our pay rates by how much you fly. That's how much you'll make! No secret. Alaska doesn't build trips below the garbage 5 hr average duty period or the 3.5/1.

We have all kinds of ways to make extra money. Some drop most of their trips and pick up premium. Some fly FAR max, work vacation, time out, and pick up as many sims as they want. Some fly many extra FCF segments. Some do many extra sims and extra check rides. It doesn’t affect you or your contract. They are taking advantage of the contract they have. You can’t because you commute and because you can’t everyone else is a “hoar”, perfect. I bet you are a joy to fly with.

Yes folks, here at Alaska Airlines we are working 18.7hr 4 day trips. That's how much this company values the time we give it.

Not quite accurate... Did you see the SFO trip with JFK/SEA overnights that was an 18.7hr 4 day that had ~14hrs of block? And those lines in January/February that were that pairing 4 times for a total of 75hrs of credit and 14 days off? Lol you want softtime, there it is! It's to pad the transcon pairings of all things.

I've had a few Rsv Capt buddies on the 73/LAX get 48 hour JFK overnights with a DH back.....of course, the minute I bid 737 captain, that'll stop. I'm pretty sure I killed a priest in a past life lol.

“Some pick up as many sims as they want”
There’s so much entitlement in that one sentence. Sims are posted at around 4am on crew access. You have to call in to crew scheduling to see if they can put one of the sessions on your schedule. It’s a huge PITA.
I don’t see how a normal person can wake up at 3:30am to 4:30am and try to snag a few sim sessions. Maybe if the process was streamlined so you didn’t have to call in to pick up it would be a little more palatable.
Plus it’s not like there is any kind of formal education process on how to pick up sims. It’s all just something you have to figure out on your own. I’m guessing none of this will change because it favors a select group of very senior pilots at AS.
