While I appreciate DM’s email on the “intent” to staff SFO to 450 pilots…..I just don’t see how we’ll ever get there with UAL in the backyard. I’m not entirely sure there is anything we can do to attract more FO’s that intend on staying here. I get the notion that “not every pilots wants to fly a widebody”, but when you look at the amount of flexibility the big 3 have vs what we offer? It’s a really tough sell. Especially when you see junior line holders at DAL and UAL with 18 days off a month.
I think the only other option we have at this point (apart from merger rumors) is new bases across the country.

How would transportation work? Would the pilot be responsible for driving to both airports or just one and have a report time at that airport?
Company provided transportation would be OK, ish. But would be an absolute nightmare if the pilot was responsible for reporting at either airport.

Delta notified the DOT that they won't be resuming/starting service from PDX to Tokyo which leaves that slot open for any other US carrier to pickup. I'm guessing that merged Alaska-Hawaiian will pounce on it immediately. Probably announce the new route in December for a little post-merger stock bump. Japanese people love Portland. It's the obvious move.

Rumor in the Midwest.
Rumor out of the Sun Country flight decks is we could see Alaska buying us or offering to buy us again. Having 50 737-800’s and being able to stick it to the funny hat wearers. As well as our COO has ties to Alaska and was just in SEA.

who knows…. But, depending on what is trying to be accomplished…. This would make more sense.

More plausible than a HAL merger. If your COO is still JH then forget that relationship. He was exiled and then fired from ‘Alaska Air Group’
