Almost unknowable. We are in the process of closing down the Airbus fleet. Those big reduction cause lots of displacement which causes bumping. This process will take a couple years to work itself out. Junior pilots in both seats in all bases will feel the brunt of displacing a more senior group. The efficiency of single fleet will also cause reductions in reserve staffing which is an indirect displacement of its own. Lots of junior pilot stagnation coming. The coming single fleet will be a negative for the pilot group for a few years

Frankly there ARE SO MANY better choices... why AK? If I hadn't bought too big of a house last year I'd be leaving as soon as darned near anybody would have me. And THAT would be flushing over 20 years of seniority away.
It's a pretty bad place to work. No kidding.

I’m sure Alaska has a number of QOL issues, their total compensation could be better when compared with other majors, etc. There’s plenty of info on this thread about improvements that could be made. But I work at Skywest, we have the exact same issues, and make 1/2 to 1/3 of the pay. Alaska is still a big step up, as some others mentioned in this forum

Most new hires are getting Seattle, but there have been classes where some got PDX and ANC in training. Just depends on what the company needs at that particular moment. Sounds like the SFO 737 base is going to be relatively junior as well...

If you went over to AS, it sounds like you know better and wouldn't go down that road. I bet you however, that there are a few who will look at the situation and decide that they don't need to participate in the fight for an industry standard contract because, well, "Alaska is a big step up".
