I was also given a first person account by someone who recently interviewed and was very discouraged by the treatment his group was given in SEA. He said from a group of eight, seven were shown the door the first day, and HR has been very slow to communicate with him as regards to why. Contrast that with a friend who was in a group of twelve, very well treated, where eleven were given CJOs. That was early summer. Those numbers follow no law of averages you can dream up.
It makes perfect corporate sense to use the lure of a possible future at ALK Air to attract/recruit/retain Horizon pilots (smart recruiters) in a highly competitive RJ pilot market, but just at a level to keep the hope alive, and not to a level to cause stress (or extra expense) to the Horizon operation.
