I don't think he'll be the last one. I know others with apps in, 1 who was just contacted for interview.
Also, for those looking for a seniority jump in a merger, Alaska is taking apps again:
Dear XXXXXXXX
Yes, the “rumor” is true! We are reopening the pilot application process the morning of Wednesday, April 11th. We are excited to continue the hiring process and would like to share the following helpful application tips:
•Only online applications are accepted via https://careers.alaskaair.com/Alaska-CareerOps.asp starting Wednesday, April 11th.
•The requisition will be open for 7 days; closing at 11:59pm on Wednesday, April 18th.
•Although you previously applied in XXXXX 2011, you will need to reapply when the posting window opens.
•The hiring team will review resumes once the requisition closes. We are looking for best qualified and don’t provide preference to those that applied first.
•The system will accept an infinite number of applications.
•The REQUIRED browser is Internet Explorer 8 or above. In order to successfully submit your application, you MUST use this browser.
•The online application process takes approximately 30 minutes. Be prepared to supply 10 years of work experience plus your high school information as well as any secondary education.
•A current resume is a required part of the application process. Once your application is submitted, your resume cannot be edited or deleted.
•You are able to attach up to five letters of recommendation. To do this, you must click on the “My Career Tools” section on the careers page (upper right hand corner) and navigate to the section titled “Cover Letters and Attachments”. You will then be prompted to add attachment and list the document title.
•Please read each question with care and not rush through the application. This will ensure the application is processed correctly and given full consideration for an interview. Due to the selection process being highly competitive, it is critical the application has accurate information.
We strongly encourage you to apply during the week following April 11th, not necessarily on April 11th. As witnessed last time, too many candidates applying at the same time slows down the system and causes possible inactivity.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us at [email protected].
We sincerely appreciate your continual pursuit of employment at Alaska Airlines.
Thanks,
SM
