Rumors abound but YOU can not get hired by a legacy if you don’t have PIC.
I want to stay in the PNW and fly and I would fly for QX if the pay was even comparable to other regionals but I will NEVER fly for them with pay below minimum wage and less than a burger flipper makes.
I will add this and I’ve said it before, it is the Senior Captains fault QX is in the dumps. They wanted and voted in lousy contracts to better themselves and sacrificed the new FOs pay and QOL.
Times are changing and pilots now have the opportunity to make being a pilot respectable again.

Alaska said "frog" and a significant majority jumped; it's really not any more complicated than that. It was probably the junior people who weren't going to have to live with a bad contract long-term who were most willing to grab their ankles for the Eskimo.

I find it ironic that Alaska wants diversity but I'm discriminated against because I'm a helo guy. Go to the "national gay pilots symposium", the "Women in aviation" symposium, the "OBAP" symposium and you're a better pilot but if you fly helos in a war your a lesser pilot.
Whether it's senior pilots or others it's a weak pilot group that votes in a bad contract. And cold calls during Christmas proves it. I've been there and that pilot group is continuing to shrink.
