"The jet" is a cultural thing at Alaska. Some of us don't transfer flight controls....we transfer "the jet". Usually associated with lots of grey hair and the same leather jacket and necktie they have been wearing since 1994. It's harmless, but good for an eye roll from the non boomer generations.
“You have the aircraft.” or “You have control.”
There is no you have the jet.

Live in SEA, transcon commute to regional, sick of the commute and juniority. Class date at Alaska coming up soon. CJO at Delta, waiting for class date assignment but they are telling us to expect 3.5 months to indoc due to training backlog.

At least with Alaska, 100% you’ll be able to get SEA right out of the gate…

If you're 55+ years old, I'd probably just take AS, no risk of having to commute. But your SSN last four matters at DL... higher (larger) number is better. That can be the difference between SEA/west coast out of the gate or commuting to a seat lock in NY.
If you're under 40, DL for sure.
In between, depends on your personal priorities but lean towards DL unless you really, really hate commuting.
Make sure you understand the seniority demographics on the DL fleets at SEA... how soon to get in, and then how fast does seniority progress.

Doom and gloom? Maybe think of the long game. How many people have left Delta to come to Alaska? SEA, LAX, & SLC have all been randomly offered to new hires in the last few months.

Alaska’s new contract and pay looks great. Their seniority movement doesn’t. That reason alone is why I jumped ship. Come to the south side.
