Coming here in general is bad news. The audacity of this joke of an airline to have applicants come out for a "pre interview meet and greet" is appalling considering their **** poor treatment of their pilots (and all others work groups for that matter.) What this pretty obviously translates into is, "we think you're qualified but we want to invite you out to make sure you're willing to bend over and put your own lube on before we repeatedly plow you from behind. Then we know you'll be willing to take it from alaska for years to come."
Alaska is the fat ugly girl of the airline world, she should take what she can get.
Do yourself a favor, don't make the lateral regional to regional move by coming here. Keep chipping away at delta or united.

I知 sure there is not a perfect airline and maybe , based on your comment seems like Alaska has some problems, but in my case is a step up. I never expect with my experience and qualifications to have to go through a regional first and instead here i知. So hopefully I will have a great opportunity and will pass my pre- interview and if something better will come in the future I will be ready to jump on it

Completely understand and makes total sense. Wish I could offer what to expect at the meet and greet but have no information about what occurs there. Hopefully someone else will know. Good luck

And yes AS/VX is better than most or all regionals depending on your seniority and pay vs. QOL needs.
