You don’t consider the Q400 going to 88 seats growth? That’s like... a ton of growth.

Did you just apply under this announcement?
Can you give us a general overview of your stats so we can see what Alaska is looking for?

Just be honest with the personality assessment. From my understanding, it has no weight on if you’re hired and they might use it to help them decide on some interview questions.

I just completed the application myself. That box was not marked as mandatory, and because my college GPA is not something I crow about, I left it blank. If they really want to know what it is, they will either mark it as mandatory or they'll ask for my college transcripts (as pretty much everybody is doing in interviews now), and we'll talk about it in an environment where I can present it in the best possible light.

Or you might not make it past the filter on the computerized search. It would be a shame if you didn't get called because their filter called for a "2.0 or above" and the computer skipped over you. All because you were ashamed about your 2.5.
I would be very reluctant to leave out any objective facts since GPA is the exact type of objectively scorable thing they are likely using to wittle down the applications.

My advice: Don't think about it until the phone rings. You'll live happier.
