Interview info?
 

Anyone have interview tips or info about a prep company you used? Thanks!

I used Emerald Coast. A good friend used Rainier. We both got the job.

I recommend that you work hard on your "why Alaska" answer. What makes Alaska unique from the other carriers that appeals to you, that would keep you from going to another carrier? Same question is asked in disguise as " do you have apps at other carriers" (yes, but Alaska is my first choice because ____) & "what if Delta calls you"

I used emerald coast. They where great and the interview went very well. Alaska does not want canned answers! EC is good at helping you organize your thoughts.

Thank you. How many letters of recommendation did you bring? Did you only bring internal recs or also ones from other pilots?

Yes, EC does that well, for any airline... helps you collect and articulate YOUR thoughts (and avoid landmines).

I did both EC and Fly The Line. I would recommend Fly The Line over EC, though I think doing both is an even better option. I found the Fly The Line approach better for AS than EC.

'Twas a beautiful morning on April 4, 2016 when I was ensconced in a full-grain leather sofa, sipping on my first cup of Earl Grey. Flipping through the TV channels I stopped on CNN's Breaking News: "Alaska Airlines acquires Virgin America in 2.6 billion dollar deal." The tea cup slipped from my fingers and shattered on my fine mahogany floor....

Geography continues to play a major role in their decision. If you live in Alaska, if you live in or have ties to the Puget Sound Region or live in or have ties to South West Washington/North West Oregon then it is essentialy your job for the taking. 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
