From: This side of the dirt.
Default Earnings Call #2

Investor Q: “Not asking you to negotiate right now but is settling the pilot contract…. I’m assuming that’s maybe your top priority right now.”

BM A: “Its absolutely a top priority…. Getting a pilot contract that aligns with our business model.”

So, unlike the cost of fuel or any other commodity, where the company has to factor supply/demand costs and adjust their business model….. let’s be clear….. their position is that the supplier (US) has to adjust THEIR P/L to fit Alaska’s business model.

Our brand, culture, route structure, equipment etc ….. for any prospective pilot…. with all that out there and 7-10 seniority pilots leaving…. I can PROMISE you…. The juice ain’t worth the squeeze….. except as a stepping stone.
