I don't think the commuter clause changed much, if at all. And like others mentioned, we currently have a program through which commuters can book a company-paid hotel in base the night before an early trip but that's a temporary policy that can be terminated any time.

The real change for commuters will be from LCR (no involuntary reports before 1400 on the first day), aggressive pickup, assuming there's enough opentime to make that meaningful, and PBS. PBS will hopefully at least allow people to stack work blocks together to minimize commutes or bid commutable reports.

Anything is possible. AS and VX were 2 totally different animals and AS managed to make that happen. Of course they screwed the pooch in doing it though. The next merger will be no different.

So AS bid next week for Hawaiian ? With this Amazon agreement which could have Amazon own 15 percent of Hawaiian.

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn’t the commuter program only apply to AS operated flights? I wasn’t aware that we were able to use off-line travel and still be covered by the policy, but I certainly could have heard wrong.

2 flights on any airline

Thanks! I honestly did not know that

We definitely shoulda sent it back and held out…

These Guys Know Nothing About Economics

23-24 Alaska will either be looking great for potential new hires, be able to grow and may do very well during economic hard times. Or we may be left behind by the majority of major airlines and have difficult staffing issues that will hinder our ability to grow, which will exacerbate staffing issues.

We've already decided which one. With 82% of the pilots voting in favor of the first scenario.

I don't understand the point in posturing about the future of the economy. At the end of 2024 we will know if the pilot group did the right thing or not.

How about you accept the win. I have.

Can we rip off your sticker? ;)
