I keep reading about arbitrated JCBAs. What if you merge with someone who can’t have an arbitrated JCBA per their contract (e.g. B6)?

Then that would make AS even cheaper. We'd be stuck on the current contract while we negotiate a JCBA. As long as there's a JCBA backstop I'm not sure there's any benefit for the company to negotiate a contract in the current market.

VP of Flight Ops going back to fly the line.

So did JL get to bid a May line or is that gonna be a reserve line for May? Management pilots are flying in both seats now so maybe he will get to bid an FO line and enjoy his seniority.

Let it go. Your a Cappy now right, at a company with a great future. Out of all the possibilities for a career at AT/VJ most would conclude you knocked it out of the park.

I'd rather see you use your energies on engaging your Reps on C2020 and acting like the Leader your paid to be for the guys you fly with instead of the crybaby stuff you post from time to time on here.

Let it go.

Or don't. And medical out earlier than you have too.

just read the Q1 Earnings report….. “beat loss expectations” confident on “2022 financial target” …. Hoping for “Pretax profit 6-9%”.

It’s ironic at times but, it’s almost as though Alaska mgmt runs the airline the way a hedge fund would,…. It’s not about profit VIA the product. It’s profit in spite of the product. The core customer…. The REAL one…. is Wall Street analysts. That’s it. Reputation? Employees? Passengers? Reliability? Etc…. As long as they get good grades from Wall Street…… irrelevant.

As though? It IS how they run this credit card company that happens to own an airline!
