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

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

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)
