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.

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.

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...

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

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.

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.
