Don't forget Make-A-Wish Foundation. Being a Wish granter is pretty cool; and does not take up too much of your time.

Make-A-Wish would probably be a good one. Alaska supports Make-A-Wish in a huge way.

Hello all,

I was able to apply when the window was last open in December. I got the TBNT email, I think because I didn't have my Bachelors degree at that time. I have since completed it and am very eager to get my info back in front of the recruiting team. I have a few internal connections and LOR's but what else can I be doing? What is competitive?

I have scoured their website to find out any info about what jobfairs/ conventions they might be attending with no luck. I understand that AS was at Oshkosh last year, any chance they will be at Sun'n Fun?


Thanks in advance,
Steak

Anyone know the scoop on this. I talked to a recruiter at WAI and she said their mins were 5,000 TT and 1,500 TPIC. Hmmm the last window in December it was 3,000 TT with no TPIC requirement. And she did say this was their mins, not what is considered competitive. Thinking maybe she got something mixed up because that would make them even more restrictive then FedEx!

You would be surprised the qualifications pilots have who apply to AS. More restrictive than FedEx? AS always has been more restrictive than a lot of airlines.

They posted those mins of 3k for legal purposes so they could hire family members and such. However I was told by someone "in the know" that 5k is the real minimum they look for unless you're pretty special. I guess the main reason for this is they've found people with low TT end up not having many good stories for them in the interviews and struggle in IOE more often. Not saying I agree with it, just passing it along.
