Why not? You know a pilot strike vote is just a small step in a years long process… nothing imminent at all.
I am alll for the pilots striking, the current management of AS is afar cry from past management teams and it shows throughout the system poor inflight service, ground support lacking that "Alaska way". Prediction if Ben & company are allowed to continue long term there will be no long term, Alaska will be merged or shareholders will purge.
Should loyal OMAAT readers vote to strike unless the pop ups are removed? Surely there is another way to get that ad revenue Lucky.
Union crap torture the customers via strike and then higher fares when they get all the things that they want...
Well if you want the pop ups removed, maybe you should start clicking a lot more on them first.
Start "clicking" more ads (Pop ups)? Well, please do, the algorithm would certainly enjoy that. Oh, and "Eskimo" is considered a derogatory term, unless you are an Inuit and prefer to be labeled as a "Raw meat eater" by a people not Inuit.
No more Alaska flights for me. We have alternatives. In 93 we suffered a lot from American Airlines flight attendant strike. Got stuck in Rio for 3 days before making it back to US. We have NEVER taken another American Airlines flight.
Totally agree. After booking & re-booking 5 times an Alaskan cruise since 2019, this August somehow we're going. So I've booked Delta on points for a backup. I can't see taking the risk as one can cancel and the Delta miles back in the piggy bank if our Alaska flight does take place.
And I’m just telling you there is NO risk of that this summer…perhaps in a year (familiarize yourself with the Railroad Labor Act as it relates to strikes) , but do what you like
That’s a long time to boycott an airline. Between all labor, mx, or IT issues that have stranded people over the last few decades, you’ll soon run out of airlines!
I was hoping they would settle this. Our flight was canceled due to (I suspect) a pilot sick out two days before departure to OGG on May 7th. I was on the phone within five minutes of the text and managed to get us all re-booked on Hawaiian, they were in the process of re-booking us on separate AS flights with multiple stops. It was a major feat considering there were 5 of us on 3 different PNR’s. Thankfully our return flight to SJC went as scheduled. AS has been my go to for Hawaii for our group trips thanks to the B of A card companion pass. Guess I’ll be booking Hawaiian for next year’s group trip…
