- no management experience (IP,EP). Just a line pilot
Just waiting for the new application window to open up so I can fix the format of my current resume. When I submitted it last time it formatted terribly on their website.
Any advice from you guys would be appreciated.
The two biggest things you have going for you are the community service and the Alaska flying experience. Your new hire buddies probably don't count for much. Your biggest shot will be schmoozing the 2nd floor guys at Puyallup. Put on your happy face and make sure they are fully aware that Alaska Airlines is far and away your first choice. Make doubly sure they know you're looking forward to moving to ANC and a long career in the ANC crew base (whether you are or not
).
Good luck!
