I don’t think anyone is pretending this is a legacy after the last week.

The lack of leadership at the executive level makes it painfully obvious that this airline is nowhere near a legacy. BM & JL have been in hiding. Haven't heard a peep from either one. We got one worthless E-Mail from CVM and another one from SD about a week ago - one day after the MEC sent out a comm expressing disappointment in management's mishandling the whole snow event meltdown. Angle Lake is reactive. They've always been reactive and one shouldn't expect them to change their ways. They are content with their "business plan" and they are way too stubborn to change for the better.

It is a legacy, the definition is clear and simple and includes HAL and AS... grandfathered basically. All of the legacies also have regional feed. I think none of the other majors have regional feed.

Unlike the others, AS is also a niche LCC, and not a global player.

Maybe the legacy title makes some folks feel good, but it doesn't offer any extra pay or benefits :rolleyes:

It’s a west coast Sun Country

You still haven't said anything. You just mope about the inevitability of how powerless the pilots are here, which is a key ingredient in the self-fulfilling prophecy of why the pilot QOL is so substandard.

It's embarrassing.

No, Sun Country has a better contract.

…until they buy you

Powerless has never been uttered by me…We certainly do have all the power… We certainly choose to never use it. At least you and I do. I have spent 23 years doing everything that ALPA is afraid to ask us to do. I assume that you have too…Judging by our success you and I must be the only two that do. If the other 2800 would start doing those things we would wield a large stick at the “table”. What will never get us that “stick” is pilot shortages, attrition, legacy hiring etc…For an “airline” like Alaska, those are phantom conditions that don't exist. Or at least not in the last 23 years.
