My point with my pay is, it’s there if you want to go get it. Just like it is at every other airline. Things are about to get better, but this is not the place many disgruntled on here make it out to be.

Boat, BTC, home, wage…. It’s America, if you want it, go get it. Don’t whine and expect this world or this company owes you anything.

Spring 2020, I was down around 2,800k…pretty rough beat. I mean everything I touched turned to crap. June of 2020, I am on the PH level of our crew hotel in an empty HNL, with a great FO, drinking good whiskey over hotel ice, on that hotel balcony. We were enjoying our failures of that year together. I told him, I had some Virgin cash from a rental sale in sea that I was afraid to put to work. He said BTC,BTC, BTC. When I got home, I got a WFC account and threw a little more then 750k into BTC…

My whole point with BTC, was more of a personal reflection. I hustled last year to make 500k at AS. In the last few weeks, I have lost almost 3 years of hustle, in BTC alone. My plan, is to make under 300k in 2022 at AS, life is to short to work that hard. Hopefully, I stick to my New Years resolution.

We have things that need to be fixed, many will be soon, not everything though. I almost made 500k, feel like I am treated pretty good, but want a market contract. None of my friends or family feel sorry for me🤔. A new contract is coming, not a perfect contract, but a good one. Bellow was posted on a LUV thread… go figure. Every airline has unhappy employees, who feel their job is insufferable! I mean you will never truly understand just how bad their job is😢😢😢… poor them. Someone will always have it better.

After 4+ years I’m giving serious consideration of another airline. After seeing what’s happening at other airlines in terms of upgrades, progression and contracts it’s hard to ignore what’s happening here. The arrogance of management has me wondering about the future of this company and prospects for a fulfilling career. There were certain draws here several years ago that made up for some shortcomings but navigating this COVID crisis has shown that this company is NOT the company many of us thought it was.

Thoughts?
It would be utterly stupid and self defeating for anyone in this industry to not make a regular comparison to our peers. Having made that comparison with our industry peers, anything less than anger is really an inappropriate response.

The average price of Bitcoin from May to September of 2020 was 10k. It’s now sitting at 55k. Care to tell us how you lost money?

🙄… I bought 81 BTC’s in June of 2021 and 30 more in October of 2021. I believe 81 BTC’s cost me 764k…. Thanks though for checking in. I never respond to you because I honestly worry about you, you really seem to struggle.
It’s now sitting at 50k…🙄🙄🙄🙄. Your a numbers guy though, I already know.

68,700 x 111= 7,625k
50,000 x 111 = 5,500k
(2,125k)

so in a couple of weeks I lose 2.125 mill and I hustled a whole year for 493k…. 🤔🤔🤔🤔 kinda makes the hustle seem silly

Dude I am up around 4.5 million on that trade… just not 6.7 mill anymore. I would take that all day every day! Still stings that it’s come back from it’s highs. That is by far the best trade of my life… and given to me by a great FO, who is thankful for his job at Alaska airlines🤔…. I worry about you🙄🙄🙄🙄

💎👏

He already did. Nothing he talks about comes to pass. I don’t know why people listen to him.
