Works well on the iPad offline too,, just make sure airplane mode is activated before you lose service just incase as it may try to refresh.

Of course there is. It pairs well with Crew Access and every other ancient process and mentality we’ve had since 1932.

BIDSMART.US does the same thing for free and all that Alaska pilot asks for is, if you feel like it go ahead and donate to a worthy charity, NOW THAT'S A STAND-UP GUY!
There is no system “out there”. If you are talking about preferential bidding, that is not workable at all with our contract. When we have a contract that can accommodate preferential bidding, everyone in ALPA scheduling will happily put it together including JW. The only base anyone needs a bid sorting program for is Seattle….Not enough lines in the other bases to make it worth it.

Default Projected 2021 Hiring

Looks promising...

https://www.adn.com/business-economy/2021/10/09/set-for-aggressive-growth-alaska-airlines-begins-hiring-pilots-again/

"We are growing our airline back from the deep cuts we made in 2020,” Capt. John Ladner, Alaska’s vice president of flight operations, wrote in a memo sent to pilots Wednesday.

"In an interview Friday, he said the airline hopes to hire about 170 new pilots by year’s end. Alaska will report its third-quarter earnings on Oct. 21 and will lay out its growth plans in some detail then."

Let's see what they say to the shareholders at the next meeting. Our leadership would swear on a stack of Bibles that they are the zodiac killer if they thought it would strengthen their position with the employees.

We might get to 170 new hires by the end of 2022.
