Will be a pretty steady flow of fairly senior FO’s off the Bus who are planning to return to SFO when the Bus draws down…Since only UAL has a base in SFO it makes it reasonably commuter friendly for commuters east of the Cascades. The bottom likely will just stay the bottom as the base grows. Unlike every other airline in the country, we really only have one mega-base and then 4 outstations. Our entire network exists in one time zone in terms of pilot bases. We don't have junior bases or senior bases the way all other airlines have for that reason. If you live in SEA or one of the outposts then it is a good thing. Otherwise, as an outsider , all of our bases are equally undesirable. Only reliable thing at Alaska Airlines is pay day
