Agreed. If you are in your 20s-30s now and get hired, you MIGHT see a west coast base before you retire. That's if they raise the retirement age to 70. Apply knowing you will either move to Hawaii, or commute your entire career. This unless there is a significant change in the branding-business plan which would mean renaming the airline.
Not impossible, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

im not sure I’m following you on the rebranding and renaming the airline. Alaska Airlines doesn’t fly just to Alaska. They would have to get out of the mindset of “to-from and within the Hawaiian Islands” mindset and business plan. I don’t think a name change would be needed for that though. I think a west coast base is more likely every day considering the need for growth.
In my very humble and personal opinion; If we get a new base, it will ALSO be in Hawaii, or even somewhere in Japan. NOT on the US Mainland.
<-- I really hope that I am wrong. I really do.

Agreed. I should have also said "Short of a complete C-Level management re-do to include the holding company B.O.D.". We will NOT make any major changes with the current folks at the helm. Disclaimer: This in no way shape or form is a negative statement about the company or the holding company management. I'm just saying that the current powers that be base the business model on the universe revolving around a point in the ocean between Hawaii and Japan. It's worked for 90+ years. Steady as she goes... Full speed ahead.
