At least they didn't sic "smart recruiters" on you to call and ask if you'd consider Horizon....

This time is different in that they have told us we don't need to do anything more. It is, however, less than optimal since many of us might like to update our applications, because we might have significant changes to report.

If Virgin America opens a window for hiring make sure to apply. For everyone hired after the merger anouncement it is straight date of hire so holding out for Alaska gets you nothing

Is this because they are both ALPA carriers?

It's in the TPA which is a document agreed to by all three parties, AS mgt, VX MEC, and AS MEC. Pretty much every merger prior once the merger date is announced, pilots hired after on either side are placed in DOH order at the bottom of the list. Merger announcement was Apr 4 and closed in Dec 14th, at which point VX became wholly owned by the AS Air Group. If you wanted to work at AS, why wouldn't you apply to VX?
