I’m not gonna lose sleep over stuff I can’t immediately control, I can merely not contribute to the false economy AAG has because people let them get away with things they shouldn’t.

And, you are correct, working at Alaska is infinitely better than ANY airline with DHL on it. That being said, we’re not comparing down. “Industry Standard” in the cargo/ACMI world is a handful of players with only two carriers (FedEx/UPS) with wages and workrules comparable to the legacy pax carriers.
Two truths can exist at the same.
We are a good place to work. AND
In almost every way we are sliding
further behind our contemporaries.
So, there are a lot of folks angry and with anger, in this industry, usually comes hyperbole, on message boards.

All silent as far as corporate comms re: pilot hiring windows.
I saw your post languishing today and thought I’d help since no one else replied.
The reason no one replied is that nobody knows...

A position bid just closed with 48 vacancies.
42 SEA
6 LAX
Assuming no unplanned vacancies (like FOs leaving) those positions will be filled by new-hires in the upcoming classes in September and October. You never know what will be offered the first day of class, but this gives those waiting a picture of what’s out there.
I would look for more hiring at the beginning of 2019, albeit rather slowly compared to this year.
Just shooting from the hip.
