Any idea on the time frame to bring those 32 on? Spring? Summer?

IF they can train them. When they pull Instructors out of the schoolhouse to fly the line, timing becomes problematic.

Nope it's all good. We scoped out the training department too. Third party vendor training was negotiated in the contract.

Yeah, the last time they tried that they had a 50% failure rate (mostly 727 CAs going to the -400) because United couldn't or wouldn't train pilots to AS standards.

Availability Date

Does anyone know how Alaska is viewing your availability date since I did not see anywhere on their web application a place to input a date? Do most people put their date on their resume?

When Emerald Coast reviewed my resume before submittal to Alaska one of the items they told me to add was an availability date. In the last 20 years I've never included one on a resume but I did what they told me. Fingers crossed!

Northwest Aviation Conference

Planning on going to this next month (Feb 22-23) in Puyallup. Alaska is listed as one of the exhibitors.

Washington Aviation Association presents the Northwest Aviation Conference & Trade Show, Puyallup WA

There's been some chatter about it earlier in this thread and also an older thread from last year... figured I'd post the information for anyone who wants to make plans.

I didn't hear about last year's until it was over... someone posted "did anyone go to the NW Aviation conference last weekend?" Several people said "I would have gone if I knew about it!"

I'm gonna work it in with visiting family in the area.
