You might be right. I recently had one. It didn't feel like a home run, though said chief was impressed with my resume he was constantly downplaying expectations.
I recently spoke with a co-worker who is awaiting a class date at Alaska. She said that after the meet and greet it still took a year to get an interview, and that was with her contact getting very blunt and aggressive with the chief pilot's office.
