A good example: a few years ago, AS was in tough contract negotiations with their rampers in SEA (by far their biggest hub). One morning, they showed up for work only to find that their badges no longer worked to access the SIDA. It turns out that overnight the company had fired all of the rampers and contracted their services out to Menzies.

Having said all that, I really did enjoy my time in the Alaska Air Group - but when it comes to how they treat their people, all is not as it seems.

Really? You think $16,000 a year as a starting salary for a first officer is enough?


Can I tell you how they get to that, just so that the public knows? Every three or four years, there's contract negotiations between labor groups and the company. The company says: "We can afford to pay this much money. This is total dollars. How would you like to allocate it?" The union who's negotiating on behalf of its members allocates that money in a way that can get ratified by the vote of the pilots. You know who's not there? The people you haven't hired yet. You know who always gets left, because the captain wants $2 more? And everybody says, "Well, you know, my first year we didn't get paid anything either, so tough **** for them." ... The reason it's $16,000 a year is because that union wanted that money somewhere else, and that's the way it works.


It's the union's fault.


Well, you only get so much money. How much would you like to allocate? Would you like to have every pilot get $2 less than ours so we could pay the first-year people this much, or would you rather have the $2 an hour in your paycheck and let the first-year people go probationary as they are, like every other, and you were? And that's what they elect to do. ...
