Alaska is famous for bait and switch nonsense like that. I remember getting called and offered an interview at Horizon after applying at Alaska.
Oh btw, did everyone know that our contract negotiations are completely stalled and the company has filed for federal mediation?

they were trying to get people to go to Horizon. “Pathways” is not a true flow. Well, is there any real true flow? I meet plenty of pilots “flowing” to American who were surprised when the flow took 10 years.

I had a guy ask for a jumpseat a couple years back. I said “Who do you fly for?” He said with a touch of arrogance “I’m an American flow-through”. Looking back, I wish I had thrown him off the airplane!
