Wow! Do the internals usually get the first calls for interview?

Are the competitive applicants usually well over the 3k total time minimum?

Not necessarily, and yes, well over 3000 ( non hp mil) is the norm.

Looks like the app window just closed. Any idea when it will open next?

Past windows have been Feb 2013, Dec 2013, and now Aug 2014, so if the trend continues, probably about 9 months.

AS/QX transition

Just curious, has anyone recently made the transition from QX to AS?

Alaska Air Hiring

During recurrent last week I met 2 new hires from QX. It looks like there is 1 or more in each class.

I've heard there were a couple of new hires who left for Delta during indoc; can someone confirm this rumor?

Recently, about a third of each class has had pilots from Horizon.

I think that's the ratio they've been shooting for. Much better than the "olden days" when the Bagwan refused to let QX guys go to Alaska because he didn't want to be the Alaska Training Dept.

So instead of guys staying in the company (btw, QX pilots are trained to the same basic standard as AS pilots), guys with a lot of local PNW experience and knowledge, they jumped ship for the other majors.

Why the Bagwan couldn't understand that was a complete mystery to me.

But then, again, the Bagwan once called his pilots "juvenile delinquents in uniforms" in the QX inflight magazine for all the passengers' edification. Genius, pure genius.
