I know pilots at every other Legacy/Major, but not Alaska. Aside from this, I feel I'm very well qualified. Just wait and see?

Of course I would move to an Alaska base if hired.

Dumb a$$ statements like that should get you banned from APC.

I was able to upload a cover letter today after a little bit of clicking. It looks like their server saved it, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi, this is my fourth Alaska window I've completed and was wondering if anyone has figured a way to remove the old resumes from previous windows/profile? I can successfully delete old cover letters/LOR's but not resumes. Maybe it doesn't even matter? Not sure what to think.

Don't let the fact that you're from a geographical area where you don't know any Alaska pilots discourage you. I always heard that unless you were heavily connected to someone at Alaska, you'd never get hired. That's simply not true. I was hired without knowing anyone inside the company and it was my qualifications that got me hired, and not who I knew. Don't listen to the negativity of those on this board or you'll never even try. Especially if you listen to the likes of packrat.

Perhaps that's by design. Alaska has always been big on career progression. Previous resumes would be a good way to review a pilots career, verify employment, even level of maturity.

When I interviewed I recognized several things in my file were from many years earlier. As far as I know they keep everything you ever send them.

I have tried internet explorer 9, 10, and safari on my iPad... When I review my college education section, it also keeps telling me I haven't checked the "graduated" box, but there isn't one.
