I suppose it has something to do with the upcoming OPAP conference. They (AS) are going to be there in force. I have heard they have no one in the pool. Might even do interviews at the conference.

Breck. I am like 99.99999999% sure I am staying here. Just a knee jerk reaction. Sorry to disappoint.
I doubt we will have to commute. BUT, using the sattelite concept really sucks come vacation, recurrent, etc time.
Another negotiating scheme. Divide and conquer.
BUT, JC said 50 MORE upgrades by end of year!!!!
But for S & Gs, I will be filling out NWAs, and Alaskas, UALs, etc and keep them up dated.

hope you enjoy the wait for WN...just talked to a good friend who is an fo there and there are 500 in the pool accrdng to OAK chief pilot, and it's going to be a good long wait for class. right now guys are interviewing at AS and getting class dates less than a month later, AND don't have to purchase a type rating for it. but hey, if you got the $6-8000 burning a hole in your pocket, then more power to ya.

long term, think about the long upgrade there (at least 10years) and type of flying. right now it's 8 years here, but sure to come down as we accelerate retirements, and get new 737800's. remember we didn't hire for 3.5 years, so those 8 years upgrades will hopefully go down to 5 soon. I'm sure it's going to be a great place at WN, but I wouldn't dismiss AS just yet. everyone gets their day to be the flavor of the month, and it sounds like next year may be ours.
