You said it, not me…

Ok. So you are, I'll use smaller words next time. At least you didn't fall back on "I'm rubber, you're glue.."

This was a fractured (no unity) pilot group just a few years ago. Mistrust, misunderstanding, and often general dislike prevailed (we didn't like each other) Then, just months ago, all those people who did not agree on a thing just a couple years ago voted to give strike authorization (that means "yes").

The only way to get 3000 people that didn't trust each other a couple years ago to agree to that extent means a bad contract, management, working conditions.

But I bet that went over your head too. Guess you are a yes vote already.

Again…more calling out, intimidation, & bullying for doing nothing but saying this can be an ok place to work, being positive about a new contract, and really liking my coworkers.

Y’all are truly unbelievable…

Anyone know how much hiring they are still planning on doing throughout summer?

FreqFlyer 07-10-2022 03:32 PM

Also whats currently the most junior base, Seattle or elsewhere?

Almost unknowable. We are in the process of closing down the Airbus fleet. Those big reduction cause lots of displacement which causes bumping. This process will take a couple years to work itself out. Junior pilots in both seats in all bases will feel the brunt of displacing a more senior group. The efficiency of single fleet will also cause reductions in reserve staffing which is an indirect displacement of its own. Lots of junior pilot stagnation coming. The coming single fleet will be a negative for the pilot group for a few years

Look, all I tried to do here was show a different more positive perspective in a hiring thread for potential new hires…

Sorry I rained on y’alls parade with that.

To those interested in Alaska that have PM’d me over the last few weeks, asking for help with interview pointers & questions….glad I could help out, Congrats and welcome aboard.

Otherwise i’m out now y’all, you can have this forum.

Peace.

It's a pretty bad place to work. No kidding.

I’m sure Alaska has a number of QOL issues, their total compensation could be better when compared with other majors, etc. There’s plenty of info on this thread about improvements that could be made. But I work at Skywest, we have the exact same issues, and make 1/2 to 1/3 of the pay. Alaska is still a big step up, as some others mentioned in this forum
