Alaska opens new SAN pilot base

If it was just me and the Mrs, or the kids were younger or older, I would 100% pick up and move to CA and rent out the JNU house until I could hold JNU overnights. Commuting is expensive as •, and at our pay rates (especially on the Captain side) it’s easy to make up the difference in cost of living picking up premium or even someone else’s trash in pilot to pilot and STILL be home more. Plus you can’t beat the weather. I was off for 2 days and spent both of them shoveling 5’ of snow including as much of my roof as I could get done yesterday. Before that when I was off, it was -8° F and I had to fix 2 separate problems with our boiler.

It is cold enough here that I'm actually concerned my pipes will freeze which for my house is rare - it's just that we've been cold for like a month. I've got a space heater in the downstairs bathroom desperately working over time to make sure I don't have to deal with a massive bill.

nah you paid some greaseball to line his pockets and perpetuate a crap business to step on someone else's neck who was either equally or more qualified than yourself

Stepped on a neck, equally or more qualified. Now you sound like a DEI-spouting right wing loser. Again, pathetic.

remember that whole Operation Varsity Blues college admissions scandal, where the parents paid off a coach to lie about their kid being good at water polo so they'd get in to their to pick of schools?

First cold weather advisory I’ve seen in Anchorage in…..I don’t honestly recall.

It's kind of wild, I didn't go and get fireworks this year because it was blowing 40kts in the Valley and I was like, "I think I'll just stay in doors and drink tea."

That’s irrelevant to this topic. What they did is actually illegal, and some got prison time if I recall.
 
it’s not irrelevant, it’s drawing a parallel on ethics. you did the same thing, but theres no regulatory oversight regarding RJ admissions.
you paid a guy who had a connection with rj recruiters to get your interview while they already had a stack of applications.

So going to a flight school where airline recruiters come is… bad. Got it.

Cool story bro.
