For everyone else the “why Alaska” is almost insurmountable as everyone else makes more sense. Their attitude is if you got an interview at Alaska and dont live in the “desired zones” you are likely going to leave for one of the others. We have a steady trickle of 1-6yr pilots that have been doing that for the last 3-4 years and it infuriates them. The locals who do interview prep are likely the best because they all work here and understand the mentality of the hiring department. Good luck
