So probably longer than 8-10 years is what you’re saying

If the companies happen to merge are you ok with giving up your seniority?
Hope it helps.

I had a couple of strategic premium pay trades but mostly flew a line average of 80 hours with 14-15 days off most months.
I would not recommend coming here; the contract is cr@p, there's not much movement and we are going to be in drawn out and bitter negotiations for the foreseeable future.

Advice from the Alaska peeps
Howdy guys,
I am an Atlas 767 FO been at Atlas for 4 years now, as you probably heard our situation here at Atlas is going down to S$$T and I think it's time for me to jumpship. I guess what I am looking for is. How is Alaska from a pilot standpoint? has it been good for the most? I live in SD to LAX base would be ideal for me how junior is the base?
I want to know what's the deal with reserve and how long should I expect to sit on reserve? Also, while on reserve is it possible to break guarantee?
Any inside info to help me make a decision is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
