Alaskawaiian Approved

Welp here we are; it's good to go. Guess I'll ask the burning questions- what happens with the alaska/hawaiian ops centers and dispatchers? And what does it mean for the future of the carriers? We'll watch it all unfold here soon.

If the new airline isn't called Hawaskan, I'm going to be disappointed.

My guess is they move to Seattle

Now they will hire 4.2 dispatchers per listing instead of 4.

He better treat her well, otherwise it will be an ugly divorce, and I assume she would get custody of Horizon...

Says a lot about the company though. Haven't met a single person that didn't like working for Alaska

That schedule also, 4 on 4 off is nuts.

only downside is living in seattle i guess. pac nw is a nice part of the country but sea feels isolated a bit. might be being biased, i assume most who work there live comfortably in some way.

that “downside” is highly subjective. I couldn’t see myself in dallas but would’ve loved to be in atlanta or pnw. Some people can’t do chicago because of the brutal winters.

Cost of living in seattle is high, but people make it work with less than that starting pay. Mid payscale is enough to live comfortably

Congrats to my Polar Pineapple People! It's been a long time coming (there were always of a rumor when I was at QXE way back in 2000).

We've been told we're more than likely moving to Seattle in a couple years.

Wow. That's a big move. I imagine there's going to be a number of people who don't come over if that's the case.
How do the dispatchers over there feel about it?

Nvm saw it's Honolulu after checking their careers site. That's a big move for you guys... from sunshine to the world of eternal clouds.
