What a wonderful ambassador for the State of their namesake.
Bethel’s crappy infrastructure isn’t the fault of the AS pilot group, try again.

Trying for something?

I'm not gunning for an end result, just recounting a personal account of corporate history. And if you don't get the interconnect between AS profitability in Alaska and the poor infrastructure in the market area, and preying on communities there, then you don't get the model.

It's too bad that corporations are people, and people lie, but AS is a serial case. At the very least take care of your namesake, and people who accept jobs with the company should have some small connection to the state the company plasters all over its corporate front line.

Just click on his profile and look at his other posts…. None of which he is the OP. Today it was just Alaska’s turn.

I'm gender neutral, but I'd encourage you to click on "his" profile all day long.

Now, rather than attacking me personally, why don't you refute my claims? To answer the OP, all airlines suck from an employee perspective, but Alaska and AA are particularly galling due to their long history of subjugating minority employee groups under awful work rules.

Now, please don't choke on your muktuk and have an Eskimo day.

Ok “They” or whatever. I’ve flown every sector of the industry. And, I have done plenty of the most down in the shizzle grunt blue collar work on the planet…. and, I can promise you working at Alaska doesn’t suck by nearly any metric.

Im not “attacking you personally”…. Just pointing out the fact that, as a general rule, other than occasionally posting about how you walked out on potential jobs at a couple places, in general you go on various airline message boards and tell the pilots that work there how bad their company, or their job, or their union is. Today was OUR turn.

I wasn’t initiating a conversation or debate with you. I was simply informing another Alaska pilot how to put into context your perspective.

But, you do you!!! I’m sure you can find someone on here to argue with. It just won’t be me. Peace out.

“THEY” are a tough one yall. Been a member of APC almost since it’s in inception and today is the first time I’ve ever had someone take the time to DM me an insult! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

in comparison to everyone else’s infrastructure in the rural part of the state Alaska Airlines has the best.

I’m referring to airport terminals and equipment. If you think the Bethel terminal sucks go sit in Yutes waiting room for a bit.

Maybe we should change the title of this thread to "Is rural Alaska a good destination now?"
