It’s considerably greener! If people would have left when they could have they’d all be much better off seniority wise than staying at Alaska. I took a monumental risk in leaving but everyone I know who left around my seniority and around the same time has done considerably better by making that tough decision.

Can somebody explain this montly bid concept that people keep asking about on the pilot call? Because like the CPs, I don't understand it either.
There has to be a vacancy open in a base in order for someone to be able to bid into that base. What exactly is the idea of a monthly base bid? Forcing the company to create random vacancies in all bases and seats every month? That doesn't sound realistic.

I know none that went to Spirit and only one to FedEx whom I don’t speak with. Quite a few of us went to Daddy D with zero complaints. Still have every bit of a dozen Alaska peeps I keep in touch with. Very mixed reviews post new contract. Most are indifferent and say eff it, it is what it is. In the end everybody does what they have to for themselves.

That narrative doesn't work when I have tons of friends at all the airlines, and I know their take home pay at the end of the year, and I see their schedule. Especially with domestic flying. I won't compare my QOL to any WB flying but domestically, I simply don't buy anyone on here saying that their take-home is much more, and their QOL is better because again, I know what they make and I know wow much they work.
