Had my SR phone call a few days ago. Same questions as everyone else (hours,ATP,50 hours 30 days). Non threatening. They said they were marking this info down in my "file". That I should book mark Alaska jobs and check back every day for the window to open up to actually apply. Then I was told it could be years before I get an interview and I should consider Horizon.

And yes, given Alaska's projected hiring numbers, it could be years before you get an interview. I've been actively working on it for over two years now and hold out very little hope of getting an interview any time soon despite having internal recommendations (that they won't look at until the interview), times that are about twice what you have, and Alaska recruiters telling me I'm a strong candidate every time I talk to them. The numbers are much more in your favor nearly everywhere else.

This is sounding more like a time share sales call than an job recruiter....

Who do you think you should listen to? These SR callers were also the ones asking people if they had 50 hours in the last month a while back.
