There will be rationalizations for either choice, and neither is wrong. It rains 300 days a year in Seattle. CA tax 10% is really 7% after deductions. United has a variety of fleets and missions. How much do you love the 737?

Besides, United has a multitude of bases around the country. Not just San Francisco.
These are all personal calculations. But like someone mentioned earlier, make the big leaps now while you can. It only gets harder as you get older.

 

This is to rational for most on here. We base most things on APC with pure emotion, mostly anger, and gross generalizations. Most here are unable to really think. So remember at UA you will probably never work, make 120 hours a month, upgrade to CA on the 787 in 2 years or less. A friend of mine, whose friends with another friend, says he gets bought off his 787 trips every week, so you will never have to commute. Your an idiot if you don’t go to UA. It’s all BS, no place is perfect but every airline is perfect when compared to Alaska on here 🤔

AS is a good company, UA is a good company. Your timing is awesome, if you want to fly wide bodies, go to UA, if you want to drive to work, come to AS. Don’t listen to the angry mob on here. They obviously screwed up their own careers, don’t let them screw up yours. Both will be great careers, there are differences for sure, but either way you should have an amazing career. You do what’s right for you and your family. I have found in life you listen to happy successful people, not angry failures.

 

Who's angry? OTZ setting up straw men to make himself look like the calm voice of reason.

 

Half of the People posting on the Alaska sub forum.

 

5/3300 = 0.15 %

 

3-4 months for me to get a phone screening.

 

Yes, sadly.

 

99% voted too strike, I think your number is off.

 

Dude, that’s one SUPER presumptuous accusation! Im not saying anyone’s anger at any given time on here or elsewhere is/isn’t justified, but to assume that anyone at Alaska who is angry or dissatisfied “screwed up their career”??? What???

 

You live in a country where you can do anything, be anything. If you work hard there is very little you can’t achieve here. If your life has not turned out the way you wanted, most likely you only have yourself to blame. Own it. To many on here are lazy, expecting an hourly rate job to somehow make them rich and happy. The two don’t always coincide, but you alone can change your station in life. The loudest on here are “angry rambling idiots”, their lack of success and achievement should surprise no one! I am confident wherever these clowns were hired, they would have found a way to blow it. You have heard the expression, “you can’t fix stupid.”
