Oh, it would be great until the shine wears off in 6 to 12 months. This is sub par airline. Horrible management, and weak pilot group. The middle of the pay scales are less than Hawaiian, but that's not even the biggest problem. We have zero scope, and it's going to bite us in the a$s. Management testified in the arbitration that scope will limit them from buying JetBlue or Hawaiian, and running them as a separate airline. Word is they also said that at the negotiating table, and that that is their ultimate goal. The air group would own JetBlue, but run Alaska separate in the Pacific Northwest, and grow JetBlue as the larger airline. If management wanted to they could order 100 more 737 or airbus and place them with another airline to fly as Alaska, and there is nothing we can do to stop it. Like I said before, avoid this place like the plague.

Next year 1st year FO pay goes to 89.89/hr. Assuming reserve first year at 79 hr guarantee, that's 85,216/yr. Throw in per diem, annual profit share, some other overages above 79 hrs, and you can see newhire first year FOs break $100k. I don't see this place struggling to attract pilots, at least not for 2018-2021.

I realized this has flipped/flopped recently...labeled as an “experiment” if I remember correctly......what’s the latest on Company provided hotel & trans during Initial training for new hires?

As far as I understand the company is still offering hotels. I'm not sure it's in the experiment phase anymore. All of the classes since July have been getting hotels throughout training (except for OE).
