To add to the thread, word is that there are more resignations and retirements than expected YTD. Hopefuls should have some good news coming in the form of vacancies. Keep an eye out for hiring announcements and good luck.

If an applicant based their decision on what they read on these boards, no airline would attract new hires. There is negativity in EVERY airlines forums. Yes, some more than others but you don’t have to look hard to see that there are unhappy folks no matter where you go. These forums are 90% personal opinions filled with emotions and 10% cold hard facts. For every argument there is a counter argument. For every unhappy soul there is someone who is content. I’d advise an applicant obtain the contract comparison literature and make an informed decision based on those facts.

We have the worst contract, scheduling, and scope in the industry when comparing major airlines. Prove me wrong.
Anyone considering coming here should view it as getting called up from the minor leagues to a minor league team with higher pay. Keep swinging for the majors if you come here. This plaice is a terrible place to work until our pilot group, namely the Seattle based Boeing pilots, wake up and stop accepting being the victim.

Honest question. Who's to blame for this embarrassment we call contract? And quit blaming it on Kasher because that happened over a decade ago. My understanding is that pilots have negotiated and voted in a contract since then.

Don’t try and tell me that you voted in ALPA faster than any startup and we’re on the way to improving these thing because when YOU accepted a job at VX, YOU had no way of knowing if or when a union would be voted on property and a contract would be negotiated. That didn’t stop you from taking the job. So don’t blame SEA base pilots for your woes, just look in the mirror.
I’ve said it over and over that the pilot group has completely changed since the ‘13 contract was voted in. It’s a whole new ballgame and the mindset has shifted from content to contempt. Even for those of us who live in base. You can either wallow in your self imposed pity, complaining about being in the position you put yourself in or get informed and prepare to improve your situation.
