Maybe he is referring to the fact that it takes close to a decade to upgrade at Alaska.

Put them in the airbus and they should float right through training.

Well, this is unscientific, but here goes:

Number of DHL/World / non RJ guys that have attempted to overspeed the bus on me due to their
pathological need to be in vertical speed = 0.

RJ guys = common occurence.

Even worse lately with the higher CI's we are using

The only way I can see this being close to true is our 4th year CA pay is $131. (based on our 3 year upgrade). Alaska have a very senior group of FO (2007 is the most junior according to APC). Alaska's 8th year FO is 131 also. It's a bad comparison using someone who's been with the company for 4 years vs 8 years. what he forgot to mention is how long the upgrade at Alaska is At least we don't don't have a bunch of E-175 with Yellow paint, flying routes such as PDX-STL or PDX-DFW. I'm not saying this justify our low pay but, Alaska has it's own problems.

I concur with this observation and double down.

That's odd. I'm an RJ guy, but never had any great affinity for VS. Maybe I was a bad RJ guy?

I'm a fan of letting the plane descend at 1000 fpm until a point determined by crazy French logic, then nose diving for your altitude. It's more fun that way.

I like how everyone simultaneously embraces and denies being low tier on a thread about low tier Spirit pilots.
