I sincerely appreciate that OTZ! Hopefully this will one day be a great company too! 🍻🍻🍻

And you told them this in the interview? What did you say when they asked why Alaska?




What’s this mean? Don’t know what you’re talking about.


It’s ok. I’m fairly happy.

Are you going to pretend all of a sudden that applicants don't just rehearse an answer to that question that closely mirrors exactly what the interviewers want to hear, regardless of the company? Come on man

So he lied.

I gave an honest answer when they asked me why VX and where I saw myself in 5 yrs. :)

Good for you! Want a cookie, or maybe a medal for being so self-satisfied and sanctimonious? Careful that you don't fall from that moral high ground you're living on!

You’re hilarious Bud! I appreciate your opinions. I’m glad you’re “fairly happy”.

I’ll take the cookie but only if you put the secret sauce on it :D

Most of the pilots I know that have left for greener pastures started out as die-hard Alaskan Airways cool-aid drinkers. For some they discovered that the cool-aid was really lav juice after 3 yrs for others it was 10 yrs…They have all been west coasters so it was not changing to go home…..Everyone comes to it in their own time…Some like the otz and skimo turn to other ways to make a living and do this for the benefits. Others find themselves fortunate enough to have the pedigree and the opportunity to move on to a major airline. For some it is as high as their pedigree will take them and for many it just becomes a job that pays ok…Any improvements that come will be from the determination of the pilots that are chained here, for whatever reason.

Did you just ask for an ookie cookie? Google it.:D

Don’t follow too many other airlines and the mask policies. Here at SW, masks are optional once we get to the cockpit, whether the door is open or closed. Passengers don’t seem to care and if they do, we’ve never heard anything about it. Hope this crap all ends soon.
