No more hiring for the rest of the year, 4% expected growth this year and next. So next year expected hiring about ~100 FOs.

Do the math. If you want Alaska it won't happen this year and maybe it might happen next year. Starting 2020 then maybe the doors open more. But why wait that long? Your apps should be in at AA/DL/UA/SW/FDX/UPS/B6. You're much more likely to be picked up at one of those places and a lot sooner than you are at Alaska. I'm not speaking ill of the place, I'm strictly talking numbers.
