Personally, I'd love to hear the plan going forward. However, I'm not that optimistic but that's just me.

Does anyone know if there are specific numbers out saying how big they want to grow the base? I’ve heard maybe 400 pilots ? Anyone hear anything lately ?

Hate it but PNWFlyer ain’t wrong. If you’re new or not here and considering coming, just know that the bedrock of “plans” at ALK is quicksand.

I am glad to see all the new stations being added. Airports that only Horizon used to fly to.

Well that's scope for ya. I'm pretty happy with the job security, personally. I'm sure there are a lot of different ways to look at it though.

I was in a hotel lobby with another AS FO and he was complaining about having to fly to PSC. I asked "well we wanted scope, didn't we?" and a light bulb went off in his head.
