Hey guys. Just interviewed last week. Had a great experience at the interview. Top notch people on the interview team.

Still can’t believe I have a CJO with Alaska. Just wanted to give an encouraging word to those out there still waiting for the call. I did 3 career fairs and had 3 friends bugging chiefs with my resume. application on file for about 4 years applied every opening since original.

I felt like the most under qualified applicant in the room but everyone in there had done meet and greets with chiefs And/or career fairs. Seems Like that’s been the formula for a long time.

Said they plan to hire about 100-150 through the end of the year with most/all going to airbus. So keep plugging away. Great company! Super excited to be a part of the team. you have any specific questions about the process please PM me.

Congratulations.

But really, there is no formula for this stuff. They call who they call.

I got called for a meet & greet, but hadn't been to any recruiting events for almost two years. I've stopped spending money and time on those things in general because the interviews I've had have not come from there.

I also know a guy who interviewed a couple weeks ago whose only contact with them was meeting a base chief pilot through a couple of internal contacts.

They call who they call, and nobody knows why. It would not shock me to learn that chicken bones were involved.

Best advice I can give you is to keep updating your applications at other airlines and use your new 737 or A320 type rating to propel you to a career worthy airline.

Enjoy the pay raise but also be prepared to be utterly abused for 14 hours a day for 18 days per month under Alaska’s torturous reserve system.

Lastly, please do not let the companies koolaid roofie-colada affect your views when voting in the next contract. This place is currently terrible and we need serious overhauls. Please join us in fixing this place, we have enough yes men.

Other than that, welcome aboard.

Congrats! Im still waiting for the call.. Talked to the chiefs at a job fair too but the conversation started going south when I asked if there was a training contract 🤔

I was over the moon and couldn’t believe it when I received my CJO.

Now I can’t believe that a unionized pilot group at a major airline has been treated so poorly for so long.

Congrats and welcome. If you don’t mind me asking, what are your quals? TT, PIC, etc. Also, if you know it, the general quals of your interview group? I have some buddies trying to get on at AS and I’m curious how they stack up. Thanks in advance.

Then you can enjoy a slice of Za’ and an ice cold Rainier at 8 Bit when your done flying the heavy metal. I like Pepperoni on my Pizza Pie Doorbell Doorbell. Am I right?????

Congrats on the CJO ArrJay, and welcome to Alaska.

Seriously? You really asked that about a major airline, specifically to a chief pilot when you're trying to get a job there? You effectively told them, "Hey, I'd like you to give me a type rating and some time that I can take somewhere else." Your name now has a big red X through it.
