Hope those Chinese sniffles don’t roll through Gig Harbor could shut the Eskimo down for a few days.

RIP to those reserves

RIP to those line holders. They're going to be the reserves. Any line holder that passes through sea better be ready. Fatigue is a b!@#$

They should also carefully review sec 25. That way they can assist crew scheduling with making the correct decisions. Contract Compliance on speed dial. We he have resources to help those schedulers do the correct thing.

The standard Alaskan 20% discount because we have cool bases and modern airplanes

Bases with far higher cost of living. Somehow justifies lower pay.

Isn’t the Alaska fleet mostly 737s?

Yep, but they’re of the “King Ranch” variety, so they’ve got that going for them…

A bunch of us have a life and priorities outside our job at at Alaska (families, other businesses we run etc). That doesn’t come to a screeching halt just to make sure you or Jenny/Jim in the back enjoy your 45 hr Newark layover are more enjoyable. And, also, even if you are an amazingly enjoyable conversationalist during the 6 hr ETOPS, they just wanna turn on “1883”, drink a beer and relax. Either way, the fact that you somehow feel entitled to THEIR time not flying, and if they don’t give it to you they’re not being “present with their crew” is unbelievable. We’re supposed to be adult professionals here.

I genuinely love 99.999% of the crews I fly with here. I think we have awesome people truly. Sometimes it works out to go hang. Sometimes it doesn’t. Sorry brother, It’s not 1965, you aren’t Di Caprio, and layovers aren’t a scene from Catch Me if You Can.

Nailed it. Thank you! Some people are entitled and incredibly shallow. Thank for saying what I was dying to say when I read that crap. Conscripted...that took the cake.
