Alaska's so woke you'll be denied employment for nicotine. You'll be their dream candidate if you shoot heroin/meth, and cut your gibblets off?

Hahahahha. This is so true. What a goofy airline.

It’s the very first thing they do to try to control you’re life. You’d be stupid to go to AS when everyone else is hiring. Just saying, smoke if you got ‘em

A cheek swab? Hell I remember when you had to send a stool sample to get a job at American.

That was because smokers were told to stick it up their rear end? Lol

They had to be sure, that your $hit didn't stink--different times.

With the 6-month-free requirement, have I doomed myself? I have an interview coming up soon and am not sure about what the cotinine cutoff levels are in the cheek swab test after the interview... zero tolerance? Would they be understanding considering my circumstances? I don't want to wait another 6 months to apply. Thanks to anyone who can share factual information.

Apply somewhere else. Alaska is a clownshow and treating their pilots like garbage. Good luck.

Some poor dude got stuck at a regional for 20 years because he had worms! Meanwhile in 2022, flight instructors are torn between Fedex or Delta (as soon as they learn x-wind landings)
