That was stated entirely in jest because that question comes up like clockwork every time Alaska takes applications. I do, however, know someone who has an interview this week. He has been working the system for well over a year, maybe two.

I don't know why people get antsy for their phone to ring every time they go to a job fair or put in an application somewhere. Alaska will receive at least ten and probably more than fifteen applications for every position they will fill from this application window. Your phone will ring when they decide to call you, but maybe not even then. Just ask the people from the meet & greet in early 2018 who were told to expect a call that never came.
