Um...

Latest class: eight out of twelve were assigned SEA. That is NOT an issue. The only base you cannot get is PDX.
Oct. 15th is arbitrator's award. Expect a $30-ish per hour raise for new-hires. (YMMV.)

Thanks! I hope the $30/HR raise becomes a reality.

Can you tell me how seniority is awarded within the training class?

BTW I had to look up YMMV...

Not related to this thread, but didn't want to start a dedicated post:

Beyond flying on Alaska, what are the travel benefits like?

For example, if an Alaska pilot wanted to take his/her family to Europe, are there interline agreements (~free) or would it be an ID90-type situation...

Thanks in advance!

We have a pretty sweet deal with Europe airlines that we bump off revenue passengers for their seats . Yay Alaska

What are the odds of getting an Anchorage base as a new hire or by the time training is done? Is there enough movement in the seniority list to make this a possibility?

As you can imagine, the business ZEDs are useless domestically, but we have successfully used them to Europe, Hawaii and Australia.

Any base you want.
If not awarded in class, you will be able to get it in the next award. Except PDX, that's the FO's "QX country club" as one instructor put it. That takes about a year ~ year and a half. (With the forecast hiring, I expect that time to drop.)
