Probably a CWU retread whose Daddy works on the 2nd floor.

That's one way to bypass the Tool Examination Station.

Honest question, why so much doom and gloom in these recent pages? What's moral like on the line?

Are people bailing for the big 3?

No one is bailing.. People come on here to vent... Also there are only about 5-10 Alaska pilots that even post.

Yep. This is a vocal and very small minority, unfortunately...

There are still guys at Alaska that have no idea SkyWest is already flying 175s with Eskimo tails, much less have another 30 coming (if Horizon doesn't take the punch in the gut). The ignorance is unimaginable.

Morale is great on the line. The most frequent complaint I hear is about the tie and hat. When I listen to jump-seaters complain about other airlines, it's a constant reminder about how good I have it. I've been with the company for just over a year so my perspective is limited but I feel blessed to be where I am.

They are already captains so they got theirs... It'll be great when all the new routes are flown by RJs.

It's called "the beat down". Majority of people are sheep.
On a serious note, welcome and I really mean that. Compared to the military, the airline gig is pretty darn good. Everything is relative, I suppose. Hopefully, things will go well for all of us in the future and no permanent sour taste will be implanted in you by this company. Enjoy the honeymoon while it lasts. Congrats.
