Alaskan is airline number 8 for me. It is my worst from QOL, days off, management adversarial relationship with crew, morale stand point. Do I get paid more than the others? Yep. I still wish I was at my last 2 carriers instead of this place. A new contract will help but this place ain’t changing its stripes that easily. Im an Alaska brat that was acquired not hired because my Pops told me not to ever work here. He was right. I’m nearly 60 so I’ll reluctantly be staying.

Have you read the Delta, American, SW, and even United boards now on this site? They all seem just as miserable with their management & how the company is being.
Heck I chatted with a senior American captain at the airport the other day, and he was looking to bail. Said he was just miserable with the company…

edit to add, probably to keep the ones on the fence here actually.. the 3-5year range.

Similarly to how many suffer through a bad marriage because of the kids, or the fear of losing everything financially, etc, some may decide that they run the risk of losing too much if they leave AS (seniority for vacation, or bidding for example, especially with the hope of a decent contract on the horizon).
