Hate to sound cynical here, but sounds like they only want 121 guys to apply. Does that mean charter and military need not apply. You decide. This is a cut and paste:
Thank you for attending the Alaska Airlines Open House on Wednesday in Seattle. Our Alaska MEC volunteers and Alaska’s recruiters were pleased to have the opportunity to meet with so many great applicants. The time and effort you spent to be a part of this event is appreciated. Last night, Alaska’s recruiters called those pilots who were invited to return for formal interviews today. If you did not receive a call last night, it does not necessarily mean that you will not be called in the future. Alaska Airlines’ plans call for continued hiring, and it is possible that they will reach out to you at a later date.

The Alaska MEC is hopeful that this first event will not be our last, and that we will be able to offer similar events in the future for you, and for other ALPA pilots interested in flying for Alaska Airlines.
