Still waiting on an email, just gaging the room…still app received

No TBNT… nothing… beyond the “still in process of reviewing” for me and folks I know. Incredibly curious if anybody has heard anything beyond that from the July window.

Some (very very few) will not take 2nd JS for reasons of comfort and or space for seat position. I’m a commuter and will always bend over backwards to get all JS and NR on, and so will almost everyone else. If you’ve seen something different let your JS committee know

I just crossed paths with a captain that wouldn't take any js

We’re you denied the JS? If so, let your rep know about it.

This. This right here.

There’s not as many of these pricks in Seattle as there used to be but they still exist and it is well known enough that getting gate agents in Seattle to clear jump seaters still requires a little captain persuasion sometimes.

No. But another as pilot was denied. As well as an American pilot who brought in an as pilot on his jump seat. I'm not a commuter but I know that's really messed up and I did send an email to js committee

The is just a guess so take it for what it’s worth. Airlines have reported seeing advanced bookings dropping. Whether that is seasonal or covid I don’t know but I’d guess it is related to both. Hawaii has threatened to shut down the state and is asking airlines to encourage people not to travel there. As school starts more kids will get covid, some will be serious some won’t, but rest assured the media will portray things as all kids are dying which will create further hesitancy when it comes to non essential travel. Although there have been no announcements to this effect I’d suspect they are not interviewing nearly as many as they planned at this point and are playing a wait and see game.

To add to this, everything at Alaska happens really slowly. Even if COVID was not around, our hiring process is not a quick one.. just have to be patient and update when the window opens.

Did you see the news that QX will cover even more of the ANC base flying now? Seems like it will continue to get more difficult to get into that base will the mainline flying continuing to decrease.

But they said they were only going to be used as alternates!
