I’ll do me-positive.
This place will never get better when people just walk around with a smug attitude all the time.

Went from getting 25-35k profit sharing to 7-9k performance based bonus. My W2 was basically the same but I lost 4-6 days a month at home. Now you will hear from a bunch of guys that Alaska is the only major carrier they’ve worked for, tell you I’m full of kaka. I’m not.

About a year ago, spirit put out a contract comparison. Is there one for this contract? I’d love to see how the new contract compares.

Being home and/or loving my job means a lot more.

Also, it's hilarious that the Alaska advocate's name is Frequent Flyer. Because that is exactly what you will do here.
