Because we'll strike if we aren't the highest paid narrow body pilots in the country. Alaska consistently posts the highest margins in the industry. Our bases are all the most expensive cities in the country. We fly the most challenging narrow body work in America: the arctic, freighters, ETOPs etc.
All of this happens on our backs while Alaska's business model (regional feed for American and One World) pays big for the stock holders. We demand our piece of that pie.
And its not only top pay that we want. We want flexible schedules, the best bidding system, improved vacation, work rules, duty rigs, and scope. If its not the best, we strike.
We've been paid enough for the last four years that everybody has their own personal strike fund. This time around pilots are stronger than management.

Hope it works out for y’all.
