That’s the word on the street. Supposedly only over staffed until we take deliveries of the new Maxs, new hire classes are still planned through the spring.

Looking for volunteers for a personal leave for one month while retaining all benefits, seniority, longevity. There's apparently a drawing at random for prizes and that's one of the prizes. Newhire classes still in January.
Q1 and Q2 at most pax major airlines is a capacity cutting bloodbath.

You forget the regular -800
The first MAX8 will be Q1 2024. MAX 10 will be in 2025.
The last revenue flight of the Airbus fleet is done. There will be some functional check flights, customer runs for the next couple months I would imagine. But as far as the pilot group is concerned, it's single fleet.

Technically they are BCFs. I don't think there were any factory built 737 freighters.

The 10 NEOs have gone to AA.

Alaska Management: "Listen, we've overhired by exactly one guy. @Roger Roger."I think they are blaming you for this now Roger

Has the bus been completely replaced with additional planes or did they just want to get rid of it so bad that they decided to drop capacity for a bit? I could see that as a reason for being a bit fat currently.You forget the regular -800

It's a PNW regional but named after a state it's not HQ'd in. Doesn't make much sense really.
You'll get through it, just take a shot every time they say "the jet" in the school house
Nerd. Also they converted them in like Isreal and Costa Rica (I think, maybe, probably)
No it's a net fleet decrease. Also gates in LAX/SFO are less than pre-acquisition.

Yup, that would definitely contribute to staffing getting fat. Sounds like voluntary leaves aren't any type of bad news then. Just reduced airframes while heading into the off-season.

As of right now barring an economic downturn, the reduction is only for Jan/Feb. spring takes off, and summer next year is supposed to be more block hours than summer this year.

A couple shots from the training department of @Roger Roger . Dec ends in a mock mutiny where he is conveniently the tie breaker vote deciding if we turn off the Commuter Hotel MOU. "Sage" pictured above, whispers sweet nothings into his ear about how "all the pilots are abusing it" and "it isn't fair to the non-commuters". What will he do??????? Will he give into the honey dicking? Or will he keep his FO bearing and unity? Find out during the season premiere at 5 pm SEA time Jan 2nd!!!

I didn't expect that show to actually be as funny as it was.
