If I were 35 or younger, I'd definitely view Alaska as a stepping stone.

I'm suppose to be commanding a orbital shuttle back and forth to the space station for PanAm by now but Alaska will do.

What's an obital shuttle? Carrying dead people? Joking aside, you are a captain and not someone with less than 5 years. You and I already made our beds.

That was my dream list, I don't think I had a fourth or fifth. I was mostly joking. Alaska could have been my second choice, I don't remember. Actually the reality of the hiring environment when I got hired was bleak. Only three airlines were hiring; Southwest, JetBlue, and America West. I went with the first one that called.
