It seems to happen approximately annually.

Hired December 1st, Start Monday. Little bit of a wait due to Holidays. Those Hired Late Jan are starting the end of February.

I was a retired military heavy pilot with 5k TT and 3.8K TPIC, applied during previous open window. Having interviewed with another Air Line that really likes to see what kind of a test taker you are, I can't say enough about how well Alaska does their interview process. Show up, be yourself, answer questions honesty... unless they ask you what airplane is a dream of your to fly (answer 737), trust me.

No, at Alaska there are no trick questions, they don't ask you about some complicated JEPP approach and try to trick you.

As for the others hired with me.. experience is all over the map. One guy had been applying since 2001 I think. They want to know if you really want to work for Alaska.

I don't see who would want to work for Alaska. Mgmt already seems to be negotiating in bad faith with the JCBA and there is basically zero mainline growth. I hope you like swinging gear for the rest of your career. At least the other "air line" you mention is actively growing and doubling in size in the PNW, while AS just farms out all the new flying to the rj's. They're stuck in an old mindset and are about 15 years behind the real legacies.

Thanks for providing the obligatory "who would want to work for Alaska?" line. For a second there, I was afraid we might go a whole week without seeing one.
