From my layman's perspective it seems like the hiring team is not thinking things through.
And also, who sends multiple emails with no updates to applicants hoping for an interview? Are they trying to irritate applicants or are they just that detached? I would love to work for Alaska but going through this would have me second guessing them if I had another offer on the table from another airline, or air line at that.
As a general rule, when it comes to Alaska management, you should never be tempted to attribute to shrewd foresight or careful planning what can instead be explained be sheer incompetence and exclusively reactive decision making.
