I’m trying to understand this but it almost seemed like the changes to the Pathway program were designed to drive away pilots in my situation.
I came with the experience to upgrade but doing so would have kept me in reserve and unable to build the required flight time with QX in a reasonable amount of time. On the other hand I would be competitive applying directly to Alaska but I was told by many that Alaska would no longer hire QX’rs outside the Pathway. So basically by sticking around I would have been stagnating my career progression instead of helping it along.
I’m done. Flew my last trip. Off to an LCC. It’s too bad, it wouldn’t have taken a whole lot to keep me around but it seems clear that they don’t really care to put the effort into making it better. The response from management was essentially nada.

It seems they won’t get the message until they have so many people leave or have so much trouble recruiting that they compromise $$$. But they always seem to have SkyWest to fill in if they need extra lift.
That dynamic leaves you more or less powerless to negotiate.
