If it has, well, we need receipts.

Who is failing? New hires? Upgrades? Transitions?

We're at the end of a training year, the gouge has been out forever. If you can't pass, you either have a **** attitude or Alaska is literally scrapping the bottom of the bucket for new hires since everyone else is opting for greener pastures (Frontier, Spirit, Sun Country, etc)

It’s a good question for the training committee.

I passed CQ.

If this is all completely true, why?
Well, if you are looking for honesty, I really enjoy what I do, I am slightly addicted to the 20th check, I enjoy our group, I really like this imperfect company. I can walk any day I want, I find that liberating, I also find that makes me enjoy my job even more. My wife is kinda done with the hustle though, next year I plan to cut way back. I honestly have a blast at work though, there are some bad days but I work with awesome people, we have a great time.

I’m not sure anyone with a brain would understand why you would break your back working as much as you claim (not just for Alaska but for anyone in any industry) if you just made 5 million in Bitcoin (assuming you were to sell and not watch it plummet on the next downswing- though enviably it’ll swing back up to current price eventually after next fall)

Could be the possibility of a lonely soul that never actually made any money with Bitcoin and doesn’t work at AS….

I’m still trying to figure out why anyone with 750k laying around would invest it all in a hot stock tip from the FO they are flying with...

Hi all. Are their any commuters here, specifically PHX commuters? I have a cjo and would like some insight on how you guys handle the commute.

Also, anyone know what equipment and base people are getting at training around this time of year and the next upcoming classes? Thanks in advance
