Our Values

Tada Yotsuuye, a Seattle line inspector is the first employee to reach 55 years with Alaska Airlines. We had to create a pin just for him (& any future candidates) to celebrate the milestone!

Pride 2020 live events might be canceled or postponed—but you can still celebrate one of the best, loudest and proudest celebrations from home with tips from Alaska’s GLOBE (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or Transgender Employees) group.

This Father’s Day, we celebrate dads like Alaska Pilot Ryan Mohr whose 6-year-old son Haak was offered a dream trip to the Aulani Disney Resort in Hawaii with his family after battling cancer. And maybe—just maybe—he and his brother-in-law Driggs, an Anchorage-based captain, could fly the Make-A-Wish flight?

We know it’s important to learn from the past to create a better future. Join us. 

Yesterday, CEO Brad Tilden sent the following message to Alaska’s 23,000 employees. We wanted to share it with you.

We’re celebrating women who love what they do at Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air – three of whom know our planes inside and out in San Francisco.

“I try to lead and make others feel comfortable,” Tizzard says. “This work is my passion, and there’s no greater thing you can do with life and work than to follow your passion in a way that serves you and the world.”

The National Forest Foundation’s work to protect 193 million acres of forests and grasslands is supported by millions of miles donated by Alaska Mileage Plan members.

Our people are the heart of our business, and the reason we’re an award-winning airline. Today, we’re awarding more than $130 million in annual bonuses to recognize their passion, dedication and hard work. For most employees, this equates to more than 7% of their annual pay in 2019, about a month’s extra pay.

If you’ve ever wanted to fly for a living, work on planes or help passengers on their journeys, this could be the year to come work with us and jump into the fast-growing world of aviation. Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air are announcing plans, as part of a 2020 jobs forecast, to hire nearly 2,800 employees in the coming year.

Like many Hawaiian words, “kuleana” is a complex term that is difficult to express concisely in English. Kuleana embraces multiple concepts, including integrity, responsibility, stewardship, courtesy, tradition and respect for nature (and natural hazards). Before you fly to paradise on Alaska Airlines, learn how to protect the things that make Hawaii special.

Working hard, and well into the night, has never been an issue for TJ Spring, a 20-year Alaska Airlines aircraft technician in Seattle’s Maintenance & Engineering Department. “It takes a lot to defy gravity, and it’s remarkable to be part of a team making that happen,” he says.
