SW then decided to kick em in the nuts, just because they could... They're still looking for their nuts...

I wouldn't say there is "nothing wrong with that" when 8 people make a decision that important for the entire pilot group. Especially when their calculus was wayyyyyy off.

From: This side of the dirt.
100% As much as I’d hate to see SWA acquire us (and I’m not saying i think that’s likely), even given that it’d kill me from a seniority standpoint.... the oh so sweet side of that bittersweet pill, would getting to listen to jackwagons who’ve only worked for one airline and think it’s because of superior quals that’s produced that whine.
Years ago ago I was at a Air Inc in Atlanta. Eastern had gone under, and there was a guy who was at Valujet talking with 30 year old golden boy Cpt from United (who’s father was also United). He was I think the youngest Cpt there at the time and was there looking at resumes for recruitment. So this former Eastern guy gives him his resume and I guess he’d been driving a cab or something to make ends meet to feed his family.... and this douche tells the guy “Well, ya know, at United, we really prefer to see an unbroken career path..” and hands the resume back. I got outa line.
Thankfully tools like this fool are the minority. What self important sanctimonious SOB.
FTR... I’m a legacy Alaska hire.

If there was ever a time that a right cross would have been appropriate..... that would of been the time

From the perspective of a long-time west-coast airline guy, everybody always knew what AS's hiring priorities were: Zip code, then friends & family. Fortunately for AS, they could get away with that because of two mil airbases near SEA and several in SOCAL, plus the general desirability of west coast bases for many civilians.
VX hired as initial cadre some very experienced guys who were either sick of USAir, or losing jobs at several other airlines around 2007. Then they hired mostly the same candidates as other airlines over the years. They did do some culture experimentation along the way, ad acquired a few folks who don't fit the usual mold.
