While I get that, imo Alaska is in a different category as the big 3. I’m not expecting the same thing as those companies because those companies are much much larger and have a higher cash flow. I’m planning on moving to anchorage due to my wife’s job and this company is a great fit for that. I currently fly cargo and absolutely hate it. So, FedEx and UPS are out. Pay doesn’t matter to me. Being home and/or loving my job means a lot more.
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.

With that attitude you are a shoe in at AS. They are built on guys excepting less than they deserve.

I went from having 19 days off a month to 13-14. Went from commutable trips on both ends to early shows and late arrivals causing my nights in SFO on my own dime to go from 1-2 a month to 5-6. 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.

VX was shot in the head Dec 2016. Just because the name existed until 2018 doesn’t mean it was actually still a thing. Your(ours) compensation pre JCBA arbitration, with the new rates, was never above post JCBA arbitration. So to include your 25-35 bonus as a “QoL” issue is rediculous. Perhaps youre tempted to count 2018 as you got the new AS merged post JCBA rates and still had VX sked rules. Those two things combined would have NEVER been combined at stand alone VX. And your “19” days off a month is, no doubt, a look back practice of exaggeration as well.. had you said 16-19 that would have been realistic…… those days will be back by April of 2024 unless one of OTZ’s 8 different merger predictions come true.

Genuine question: Is his math wrong? Were your highest paid VX days/and max days off because of your VX pay/work rules or were they that temporary time when you had VX work rules/PBS/and JCBA pay?
