Not to intercede on the Alaska Air negativity, but most at AA concede that what really brought mgmt around to giving the un-negotiated raises was the pilots union actually getting their pilots to bid and plan on using their allotted vacation rather than selling it back. That had AA mgmt pretty scared at what manning over the summer would look like if pilots actually used all of their vacation.

Moral of the story? Just know what you're getting into or you'd best like cucumbers; because, no grapes for you.

Ok. Got it. I get it. Thanks for the concern and I appreciate it. Moving on. Facts and feelings have been made known in a very big way by current and frustrated AS and Virgin pilots.

It doesn't matter. This isn't the thread to discuss such subjects. In fact, it seems every thread here evolves into the same thing.

Poolie thread, let's keep it that way.

If the thread was called 'why you should leave the Alaska pool for something else', your posts would be more relevant. Let's get the topic back to relevant info for people in the pool.

If anyone in the pool didn't already know where Alaska stands in relation to other airlines, then that's their own bad for not doing any research. But I would guess everyone knows or can find our the information elsewhere.

Keeping on subject; I was told they are trying to let everyone know potential class dates by the end of July who are in the pool. Also, in the future to let them know at the end of the interview.
