OK, I will go sift though your numerous and insane rants on JC, and post them on here later today. Careful what you wish for.

Pretty sure that would be against the TOS. If the best you have is personal attacks when I am simply saying we wont be hiring until 1 quarter after managment already said we wouldn't hire...

I can summarize my "complaining" for you:

- Redeyes are forced onto junior pilots
- The reserve system isn't that great for junior pilots in the SEA base
- The SLI will not be great for pilots due to an overstaffing condition at both airlines

All this is compounded by zero growth or in some bases, the opposite of growth. As evidenced by our latest position bid.

If you want to spend your day attacking me because I said this that's fine. I'm fairly sure that pilots will continue to chose to work at AS or not and that it would be foolish to wait for a hiring window to open at AS when one could get hired at another airline and choose later to give up seniority to come back to AS when we do resume hiring.

A pilot who wants to work for Alaska can get hired now. Also your summary of your negativity is literally hilarious. What’s even more funny is you don’t see the irony in finding someone who agrees with you who also has the exact same attitude about working for Delta. Also how is quoting your posts a personal attack on you? Please make it make sense.

Now that the bid is open are you going to put SEA FO as your top choice?

I guess that's one way to fix these issues. But not a great outlook for someone who was hired in the last 365 days...

Now I understand why the regional guys don't like it when I go on their thread (even though I used to work at said regional) and try to tell them how much better Alaska is than where they are. Is big Daddy D better? Yeah, sure, why not. It's probably marginally better. Better enough to chuck all my seniority and upend my whole life to go there just so I can beat my chest and strut the airport in my sub commander outfit? No.

My schedule is great. My pay is great. It's not perfect. Leave us alone.

Lol, he has all the same complaints about Delta as he had about Alaska and every other place he's ever worked.

I am not personally attacking you. You typed the words and they live on the internet forever, Just because the multiple threads you have been involved in have ended up in the lav, doesn't mean the rants and insane things you have said, are somehow removed from the internet. Lots of people on here know your username on JC and you repeat the same things on both sites. You were way more argumentative and candid on the other site so tell me how me showing you, your own words, is an attack on you?

WELCOME TO HOW SENIORITY AND THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY WORKS BUD!

Why does everyone have to hold your hand and explain how life works to you? Junior pilots get the crap flying and junior bases. That is how things work at, you guessed it, every single airline on the planet.

How is HA overstaffed AND hiring? Just say that sentence out loud, in front of the mirror of you have to. Just repeat it a few times out loud until you get it. SLI is in 2 years at a freaking minimum. The staffing levels right now are literally irrelevant to how it shapes after SLI. You are literally crying over spilled milk that hasn't even been taken from the utter yet.

Oh you mean seniority will fix junior-related issues? How many freaking airlines have you worked for and still don't get it?
