The letter in question so others don’t have to wade into the APC cesspool to read it:
“I just wanted to let you know that I am very happy to see that you have gotten vaccinated in order to protect yourself and others against Covid-19. However, I am curious as to why you decided to get vaccinated on a day that you are starting a string of reserve days, and not one of the last four that you had off. Also, you chose to get vaccinated on a day where you know you’d have to get Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off due to the 48-hour no fly policy put in place by the FAA. I hope you know that in doing this, your brothers and sisters on the line will have to make up for your absence and will have their schedules stressed even more. Please know that this is what disappoints me the most with your decision you made on the timing of getting yourself vaccinated. I could never in a million years let my team down like that. I hope that you have a safe and healthy holiday season.
With Disappointment,”

So, have we figured out how the letter got leaked yet?

No one of consequence
That’s what I appreciates about you.
Posted on an internal board and took off from there. Pun intended.

Are Alaska Airlines base chief pilots on the seniority list or company management types? I only ask because where I worked, all chief pilots were management, not line guys. Looks like her email went out to three people. If that's all it takes to crash the Alaska Air schedules then the place has real problems.

They’re on the seniority list.
Man, if I’m one of three people in an email chain from a chief pilot, I really wouldn’t suggest leaking it no matter how I felt about it.
All of your homeboys have your back but aren’t going to pay your mortgage if the company wants to push the issue about forwarding confidential information to third parties. Unless, of course, it’s a whistleblower issue but I’d have gone to an attorney first.
Maybe I’m the weird one here, I don’t know.

IMHO there is no one looking good out of all of this but I also operate with the plan of the CPO not knowing my name.

If there’s one aviation career factoid I’ve learned from this site it’s that nothing good ever comes of airing your work laundry on social media.

The other people were the SEA CP and System CP, so her boss and another CP for some reason?
Every corporate email should be sent with the thought that "what if this gets leaked". This SFO CP had a reputation of being a friendly person when she was in the training department, so as a new CP sending this email was WAY outta left field and showed how two-faced she could be. It's ruffled a lot of feathers on our internal forum.
Also, the union went to the company to negotiate a vaccine MOU like what United had, but management refused. Also, per our POS contract, we have no days designated as holidays - so there's nothing special about xmas or any other day. The company can't have it both ways when it suits them.

Similarly uncool to doxx the sender, just saying. That's irrespective of whether or not you believe the pilot is in the right, or believe that the sender is in the wrong.
This is just plain dumb.
I discovered that the half of the LAX CPO were college kids that were on JC before they got their start so I’m already hosed in that department. Ha!
You're also a man of the people. I just wanna stack the cheddah flying Long Beach products and go play on the water.
I just want to rock and roll all night. And party everyday.

File this under "effed around, found out."

This would fall under the category of protected industrial speech. Email isn’t confidential. If you email someone, expect them to disclose it If it suits their purposes.

Not if your FOM says otherwise.

I’m not sure how they’d expect something like that to not become an “issue,” and that right publicly though, of the “look at how little they give a f—k about you” variety. (I can see both sides of this fairly clearly and I come down, weakly, on the side of “effed around, found out.”)
Not supposed to drive around after the shot for 48 hours, and so on and so forth.
Most of the internal emails at work have the non-disclosure statement plus the company policy explicitly forbids it except for a handful of situations.
Maybe it wouldn’t hold up in court but there are man, there are more efficient ways to spend time and money! Ha!
