Alaska Air Hiring
#1072
This is what I've heard. They are going to slow/stop interviewing for a while because the pool is full... I believe they have enough for classes through the end of the year.

AS pilots are the lowest paid "legacy/major airline" 737 pilots. Ounce for ounce, AS is one of the most profitable airlines (if not the profitable) and yet this pilot group settles for waaaaaay less.

"Oh, we'll get parked for a year."
"Hey, $200/hr. is great!"
We have too many Chicken Littles running around. Most of these guys have no idea what their peers are getting paid at the other airlines. They also have no idea that other pilot groups have voted down their first TAs.
I'm afraid we're always going to lag behind in not only pay, but 401(k) contributions, work rules, etc.

There are 2 certainties in life: 1) Death and 2) what you said. This is no pessimism. Alaskan was ALWAYS this way and will always be. Just look at the history of this pilot group and the past contracts. The company and its moles thrive on the weakness of this pilot group. This is the only pilot group that takes an a$$ pounding with a smile. I've never seen anything like it. We have more than our share of Judas Iscariots in the union aspiring to climb the management ladder at all cost.
