Unfortunately, no.
From what I understand, Alaska does a pretty good job of filtering out people who "shotgun" applications with everyone ... which it sort of sounds like you are doing. I understand, but just realize at this company, that will radically decrease your chances of an interview.
There's an airline that I want to end up at, sure. But I have apps in at other places as well. I don't know of many who have had the luxury of putting all of their eggs in one basket and getting hired there. I honestly don't know a ton about Alaska's company culture, but if it's so elitist as to "filter" out folks who are hoping to land here but have apps in at other places.....then maybe it's not the place for me. I'd like to fly for a living, and if that's not Alaska then I'm going to go fly somewhere. I'd expect anyone else to do the same. I'll keep my app alive here (whenever the window opens and I happen to hear about it) and hope that maybe one day I'll get the call.
