The inefficiency is a bummer either way. There are a few of us who really want to fly for Alaska over the other airlines, despite Alaska’s many shortcomings. Wish there was a way to make that known. Frustrating to know some people are taking up spots for those of us who really want a career here and will leave right away. Went to a MTC event in January, was recommended for the interview, and I have an internal recommendation, meet all their requirements. Applied at the end of January. Still says under review.

this is the tone of year we historically slow don so the instructors can fly the line.

not sure the reasoning. Seemed like they were a bit backed up, they also mentioned after training there was a 20 day wait for OE. Fwiw I applied after you with no meet the chiefs or internal recs and did the entire process but unfortunately given the tbnt

My historical records say the slow down is usually July and August, not now. That is peak vacation along with peak flights. June has peak flights, as well, but fewer pilots take vacation.

I was in the 3-21 interview, got the CJO. They said to expect late July or August class dates.

Anyone have a class date in May/June/July? If so, when did you receive your CJO?
