AS won’t stand a chance, can never staff properly other than keep shrinking.

Our problem isn’t attrition, we’re understaffed because of Ukraine… I mean a pilot shortage… I mean a snowstorm.. no wait it’s because the training department is too slow… oh actually it’s Omnicrom.. or was it cutting back the schedule due to cost competition.. could be an impending recession, or high ticket prices. What I am confident in is that the cause is anything but attrition - they said it in an email so it must be true.

Others have said it……Alaska Airlines has always deferred/delayed orders, reduced schedules etc. to balance staffing needs against competitive pressures. They have an impressive track record of doing so just ahead of recessions/disasters/mergers etc…and we seem to always have incredibly poor luck in our negotiation timeline…These things have made them the super-heroes of the investor world…This is life at a boutique investment firm…that happens to own airplanes. In their plan, attrition is not a problem. We speak pilot language to them and they speak investor language to us….There is no plan after we do get a contract for Alaska Airlines to run an airline…These are the facts with which potential hires should view this company…Pilot myopia is always a problem here.

Yeah, they'll prolly say that the Flight Ops/Training Dept did a poor job with their New Hire Mentoring program, so it was not effective in encouraging pilot retention.
