Didn't we fire you from being a CEO. Your little brain can't process the fact that no classes equals no hiring. VX is hiring, which equals getting a job. So what does that mean? They merge later on with Alaska genius.

We have planes coming, and people retiring, My phone blows up every weekend with capt premium trips available. Which means they have insufficient reserves. Trips were canceled last month because of crew shortage. Why would you think hiring has stopped ? There are ongoing classes. Where did you hear "no classes"? One of the CP's told me last month " the hiring pool is almost empty and interviews will begin in April or May." There are 15 vacancies on the August 1 vacancy bid.

Let's face the facts, my naive emotional friend, Alaskan Airways attract higher caliber candidates than Virgin does. Even though we ACQUIRED Virgin and SLI will take place eventually, it is a much smarter decision to get hired by AS. Getting on with Virgin, especially now, is like playing Russian roulette unless you can't get a job anywhere else (no 4 year degree or you're just a tool like Riverside). Don't let the facts get your panties in a wad bubba and try to come to terms with reality based on facts, not emotions.

I hope you are right.. But I did read a recent memo that stated we are properly staffed.. I also hope your CP intel is better than mine.
