I didn't say I liked Airline Apps. From an applicant's perspective, I'm happy they don't use it. I was saying that in an effort to get rid of their admittedly flawed in-house application system, Alaska HR managed to choose an apparently even more flawed outsourced system, forcing them to go back to the relatively less flawed in-house system. From the company's perspective, it would seem to have been a better choice to use something that was already working for the stated purpose rather than blazing a trail into the wilderness on a system that wasn't really designed to do what they were trying to do, leading to more frustration on the part of both sides of the hiring process.
