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?

because we don't know what the transfer rules are yet. Will you be locked Virgin side? Will there be a Virgin side? Are they keeping the Buses?

These are real questions that need answering depending on one's QOL goals.

So I got the wishy washy email as well....but

Then one of my AS contact said to just update my Resume without reapplying. Well I started to do that but it looks like it started a whole new application after I downloaded the Resume. So I'm stuck now wondering if I should finish the new app or just not complete it since they are looking at my older one.

How long until this is all sorted out is anyone's guess. There could be fences around bases and equipment. Nothing has been decided/announced on the fleet plan yet.

Apply again notwithstanding email...worst case=2 applications in system...oops sorry, I really want to work at AS.

Don't apply because e-mail said you didn't have to...worst case=you have 0 applications on file and will not get hired.

How is this even an issue?

Per e-mail from a base Chief this morning, HR does says you DO NOT need to re-apply but they are searching a good option for people to update their apps.

I have found two places to post a application/resume for Alaska Airlines. The Smart Recruiters site and Alaska Airlines Career sit (https://tam.alaskaair.com/psp/asjobs...on=A&SiteId=10). Just wondering if anyone had SA as to which to use or if I should submit applications on both?
