Alaska will always keep OO in their back pocket to whipsaw Horizon. Not saying that with malice, just the way it is.

 

Does anyone know how to successfully establish communication with any SAPA rep? This is now the third time I have tried to unsuccessfully email one (all three separate people) over the past few months regarding separate issues important to me... regardless if they were important to them it still warrants a response as it is our "union."

 

On the sapa site there is a page with all the contacts. I have never tried calling or emailing out of the blue but I have done some official complaints and they got back to me within a couple weeks

 

what OO does best.

 

Good to know. And helpful to hear firsthand experiences instead of just saying that everyone here is whining.

This is the only airline I have worked for and I know it could have been worse at some of the other bottom feeders. When I first started instructing, American Eagle was actually a pretty good airline. I knew of some that went to Pinnacle after SW and heard horror stories of pilots getting extended into their day off all the time and other crew antics.

I guess for me it's just difficult to see an airline that has survived so long by working with their employees and providing a good culture. So many easy wins out there but they are too busy chasing their tail to listen. TG wants to brag about how CS processed 1,800 manual SchedPlus transactions? Why not automate some things and cut that number in half? Busy doesn't always equate to productivity.

 

Call or Text the sapa prez. He always gets back same day..

 

No, it's actually the kind of thing AAG is really good at (for better or worse).

 

you play and anty up in the game every time. save if for a newbie.

 

They bypass seniority to suit their "needs" Just ask the PDX FO's and CA's
(I know you already know that, just highlighting the bullsh**)

 

or Kool-Aid suckers
