The email I received from Alaska recruiting about two weeks ago said classes are filled through summer and they expect to resume interviews in the fall.

That may have been 2 weeks ago. The CP update is dated today May 5th and what the guy said above is true. No more newhire classes until late 2018/early 2019.

It also said... "The reduction in growth is helping reduce costs to provide a stronger balance sheet that will fund future growth and hopefully more airplane orders in the not so distant future". I'm guessing that really means it'll make us a juicier target for another buyout.

How does a company shrink their way to success?

Looks like merger pains. 2018 and 19 growth numbers have been drastically cut down from what they were suppose to be previously. This isn't good news for anyone at the bottom of the list. Or in the middle.


And of course there was a 1st quarter dividend for share holders.

A buyout is the only way to save this craphole of a company.

7 years I imagine is correct for Alaska going forward. There are 4 year upgrades right now but that is because there was a three year gap in hiring. So those hired at the beginning of the last hiring boom benefited from this situation. The new numbers that I have seen have very little growth over the next 24 months which will slow hiring and upgrades... it looks like hiring for attrition, plus 50 to 100 a year for growth

This is not big news. I posted this a couple months ago. Big news is coming though. NDA police are watching me though so I better behave. Everyone is going to be fine RELAX. Man though... some of these posts in the last week. Grow up guys, yeah we can fight like brothers but after next week it’s over... grow up move on and we really are a family now. Let’s not be that dysfunctional of a family. It’s almost summer everyone, I live in the PNW and that means time to get out and enjoy.

Management has been in talks with Boeing and Airbus. They are weighing their options between the 787 and A350. We're also looking at the C Series, which will be flown by Alaska Airlines pilots. AAG is going to dissolve QX and staple their pilots to the bottom of our list after the ISL. We're also going to get the C Series. SkyWest contract will be terminated.

And if you believe all of that, I have some ocean-front property to sell you in Phoenix.

Sorry, I just had to have some fun here. I'm a pathetic loser who doesn't have anything better to do with his time on a nice Sunday afternoon.
