It’s not much of a challenge. I was only asking him why he constantly does the above 3 things because I’m curious and in a way hopeful if there is some strategy that is in play.
I asked for a hotel room 3 times for my 4+ hour sit this week. On the 3rd try crew scheduling finally begrudgingly gave me a room and the captain too. He never even tried calling and didn’t use the room during our 4 hour sit.

It used to be there were various discussions here of all things and aspects. Now? This forum is full
of complaining and POed people. Lowest 401K? We’re 15.5%. While not as high as the 16% at the big 3, it isn’t exactly the lowest in the industry. It’s sad now that this forum has boiled down to just complaining by the same crowd of people who are POed at Alaska but either won’t leave or can’t leave. Misery loves company here on APC.

Exactly. Same Whiney minority over and over. I hit the federal all sources maximum 401k contribution in 2021 as I do every year. That’s more money alone than most people earn in a year. I get 15 days off a month, max savings and cleared well over 300k. I have the maximum insurance of everything that’s offered. Compared to a regular job, I’m not complaining. That said, I still have never voted for any contract here. Things need improvement but it’s hardly the sweat shop whiners wish it to be.

I don't have any idea why Alaska pilots struggle to compare against their peers.
Yes, you're kicking the Home Depot stock boy's *ss in W-2s. That's not the point.
I feel like there's an intentional blind spot that keeps the lifers from acknowledging just how far behind they really are.

A neighbor(ish) makes 500k a year managing a team at Microsoft. She was complaining about 180 hours of work a month, from home. My line for February pays 82hrs and the time away from base is 260+ hours.
All the captains here are managing a team around the same number as my neighbor. It’s crazy to think about what we are missing out on.
It’s also wild how when a pilot suggests an improvement or points out factual data of things being they are considered “whiners.”
