I imagine the union assumes that we are all adults and are all aware that there will be furloughs. It’s pretty obvious listening to their communications, I haven’t heard them ever say there would be no furloughs so to say they are not being honest with the pilots is not true in my opinion. They aren’t going to throw numbers out there without a hard number from the company. The company clearly knows there will be furloughs but just as clearly has no idea how to move forward as evidenced by their multiple bids and cancellations.

It's not like they are withholding a formal pilot reduction notification from the pilots. Am I missing something?
Bottom 8% get looking, 8-12.5% there is a 90% chance you will not have a job, come October 1st. 12-15%, you are on hot alert. That is honestly, that is transparency. They have known it for more then 75 days.

You all are an embarrassment. If you want to be treated like professionals, start acting like professionals.

This, I honestly get embarrassed for my pilot group every time I get on here. OTZ is but hurt over not being elected or bumped out at the doing of the SFO LEC and LAX LEC, and New Guy gives all ex VXers a bad name. I’m glad a majority of my fellow Alaska pilots are more level headed and respectful that’s these two clowns. Thanks for being more transparent OTZ, I’m glad you are finally clear in your intentions
union bad and dumb
management good and geniuses

Give me a break, I am pro-union, pro-positive working relationship with management, pro-pilot, and pro-common sense. You get very little in life with vinegar and much with sugar.

I am against all the fighting, anger, hate, and caustic behavior. I hate whining and childish behavior, deprived of any intellect and substance. I believe people are capable of processing the truth, even when it is fluid. I believe in true transparency and am against elitism. Don’t patronize me, don’t patronize this pilot group, we are all capable.

Agree, let’s talk about your boat and net worth instead. Face it, you are a nobody. Spouting off on this meaningless website will never change that. It appears to be great entertainment for you. Personally I could care less about you. I just feel bad for the folks that take your BS as fact.

I am a nobody, a never been anybody, a total loser, all I have to cling to in life is this website. My greatest earthly possession is a rubber boat and a half filled bottle of old crow. Check back August first, tell me how I was so wrong. I honestly think guys are going to do just that if the number turns out to be 387.... “See, See”, they will say, “you are an idiot, you were so wrong.” The same old empty attacks, filled with anger and hate get really old. Thanks for contributing nothing. Be well sir! Angry8, we are really getting somewhere, more orange, I can’t wait to see this 💩 contract you will one day finally push out. We needed you guys, all of you guys, we were such losers before being graced with your companionship! We will never be worthy.

You made your point. Why do you feel the need to come on here over and over and fight with people?

today is first time to go from 12.5% to 8% although 90% chance based on what ? mitigation? Industry in our segment are all saying possible 100% mitigation yet AS is hard on 12.5% to 8%? seems rather unremarkable for an airline that claims the power to do the right thing

I never totally understood this thought process: So when the ball is in our court, it’s “burn the place down until we get Delta plus 3%.” When the company has the ball, it’s “We are a family, keep everyone employed even though that costs you an extra120 million a year.” It’s a business guys, it’s about profits, shareholder equity, and in the process hopefully it provides you a descent living.
