To those reading this, ask any of your buds at any airline right now--people are leaving pretty much all of the majors to go to another one that was their first choice ... Yes, people are even leaving DAL to go somewhere else.

Well said for a VMI graduate who now flies for Delta Airlines.

Since I'm on a post about Alaska. What is up with Alaska pilots? Whenever I meet a new one it's always the same. They tell me how much they love working for Alaska and about how hard it is to get hired there. Always basically the same two things.

For ANC/SEA/PDX bases, it's the opportunity for pilots to live in a geographic region that is desirable to them while working for an operation that has a lot of predictibilty and relative stability. LAX pilots get a lot of consistency too but generally not the happy predictibilty as the other bases. I'd say that most LAX pilots would leave AS for higher pay and better diversity of flying if they could be guaranteed to remain in LAX without a huge disruption in relative seniority.
I'd say Alaska is no more a stepping stone than any other carrier. While swinging thru the airline hiring jungle, it's safer to be holding any vine even when your ambition is to swing somewhere else.
