does anyone know the deal with the 401k and it switching to alaska? I'm a recent hire and haven't gotten any direction on where and how to choose how much i'm deducting for it. Will it simply rollover from virgins fidelity elections?

Caution!!! I did not do an exhaustive search, but many of the Alaska 401k funds are what I would call high-fee. So look closely at what they might pick for you automatically if you don't go and make specific choices.

I got a big packet in the mail with the AS 401k info. It had the glossy brochures, but also details about all of the various fund options. I think it will still be handled under Fidelity. My 401k from a past employer is also under Fidelity and its a single login to manage both accounts so I imagine the Alaska transition will be the same.

LCR Tips?
Hey fellas,
Got LCR for reserve next month and I've never done LCR before. I have already read the rule book over it and am aware of being available the day prior 12pm-3pm. Just wondering if anyone had some more tips about LCR. Hoping I can sit reserve from home and commute to SFO as needed. (Hour and half flight, about 12-14 flights a day between home and SFO)

I liked long call, but it’s not for everyone. You will work more and tend to get the crap trips that have been sitting in open time forever, but i thought it was a little more predictable than short call. It just sucked when they called you the day prior and you have to come in the night before
