Every once in a while even the dogs in the back yard get thrown a bone.
Alaska has done this before and few average "Joe's" got hired. I remember they bent over backwards to give a minority two tries at the sim. He failed them both. The bottom line is that Alaska might hire a few but will never hire very many. They would be shooting themselves in the foot if they did. I am sure that for every Horizon pilot they hire four more will come from Skywest.
