I'm pushing 50 and should be in a bigger hurry than anyone to get to wherever I'm finally going to land. But if there is anything I've learned in the four years I've been applying to Alaska and doing all of those things that are supposed to get you hired, it is that it simply doesn't pay to get in a hurry with this company. You can have multiple ins and it can still take years to get a call, if the call ever comes at all.

Just chill. You will live happier.
