Personally, I like DM. When he was in the CP office he went to bat a few times for me compared to his counterpart at that time. How ever I don't like the way the last paragraph was worded to us especially when we get emails and praise about how professional and great our pilot group is.

Your basing this entirely off of anecdotal evidence from an anonymous Internet forum…

I will give lots of credit to the Alaska culture change since coming from Virgin. That being said, this type of management style remains unchanged, unfortunately. Anyone around for the last bargaining cycle will remember this tone very very well. Lots of things about management and leadership has evolved and changed for the better but this stuff just screams legacy Alaska.

But yeah, I've generally liked DM in terms of decision making (commuter hotels being the lone exception), but I found his tone a little grating. It doesn't matter to me--I'm in the PNW and intend to stay there. I didn't think the admonishment was warranted.
Good rain-free sailing in SAN though. There is that. Maybe I should change my name to GoodBoat. Lol.

Nah, I wouldn't say eggshells. People who draw the ire of management seem to have earned it several times over, as well as have been given multiple opportunities to course correct and not taken them. Just be normal and try to do a good job. That's all it boils down to.

The thought of a company going back and looking to see if ur flying after receiving an email seems wildly unhinged to me.

5 pilots were terminated in the last 2 years. That doesn't seem like a lot for a 3300ish pilot group. I think you have to try really hard to get fired here.
