For me winning isn't, you do.

I was homeless and passed out in the gutter outside your building. When I sobered up I wandered in by accident. What series of personal and professional missteps led you to become an HR person at this airline?

At least I am being honest, I am not sure I believe your story.

I apologize because I am too lazy to go back and read any of your previous posts. But humor me and tell me again how it was you ended up at Alaska and years til you retire?

Judging by the new hires I fly with, if you are from the Pacific Northwest and socially awkward you have a job here. What a difference from the Virgin days.......

Oh yeah, no doubt the now defunct VX only hired the coolest pilots in the industry. I remember reading an old VX recruitment poster that read, “Are you the coolest one in the room right now? Are you willing to work for 20% less? Come see the Red Wood...p.s. we don’t button the top button”. Man was I jealous

I was acquired unfortunately. And the guy above spelled it out. You don’t need prep, you just need to be socially awkward and live in the pnw.

What do you guys expect? AS did recently lower the hiring requirements to those of former VX. ;)

It’s the only way they’re going to get people in the door especially with zero growth and zero opportunity to advance.

Well, it worked for you guys. Now you can’t complain that AS hasn’t incorporated any of VX’s old ways!
