Hope that's true. More lift would help. We have a lot of good people here and have spoke with a few of the new hires and they are enjoying it. It's all relative. I like my job overall and hoping that there are more good things in the future.

Not sure how much Alaska is hiring but can anyone tell me how often pilots are being hired from QX for AS?

With the bid period being 35 days do you get paid per month or bid period in regards to guarantee? Are the schedules typical 4 on 4 off gone the whole 4 days or back in base every night? Examples would be appreciated. Thanks

3 on, 3 off, 4 on, 9 off, 3 on, 4 off, 4 on, 4 off, 2 on. 20 days off.
The section of 9 days off is abnormal, as they pulled a 2 day trip away from me to use for IOE. However, I won't lose any pay over it. So this line would normally be 18 days off.
I bid at the bottom of the line holders. Usually I'm deciding between one of 2 or 3 lines by the time it gets to me.
