I got the exact same thing. Not sure what the "phone chat" is. I'm wondering if that is similar to the "meet and greets" that I hear about. Anybody else know?

If you don't mind my asking, what do your hours look like? Do you have internal push?

I have an internal FO, no one special, but he has been putting in words for me for about a year and nothing. I just reached out again and he said he'll ask around to see what the phone chat is and also to give my internal letter of rec again. my quals are about

This "talent" thing doesn't seem to let you update anything does it?

I will be submitting an app for the first time when the window opens (currently no app on file). Anyone know if it's possible to join the "talent community" without having an app on file?

Has anyone done the phone interview yet? Are they still doing face to face interviews before the next window opens? Apparently Alaska has a "new" HR rep handling the pilot recruiting now.

The link to upload your resume didn't work for me I entered it manually in what proved to be a pretty clunky interface. I'm assuming they still have all your original app. stuff there somewhere on file.

Looks like your problem is no job fairs. You won't be competitive without going to them or chief pilot meet and greets. They call a few without them but most people have done 1 or more of those.

An 8 year XJT FO was hired last year. He attended multiple job fairs and had internal recs. There is also someone hired last year with no job fair appearances, but with a unique inside connection. Hang in there, getting the interview invite (anywhere) is the hardest part. Keep workin' it.
