That really sucks! Sorry guys. Whats the benefit to Alaska by voiding CJOs? This will pass, air travel will return, and Alaska as well as everyone else will eventually start hiring again, albeit could be quite a while. Why not keep these people in the pool? If they've moved on to something else by the time Alaska calls, no harm no foul. Just seems like an unnecessary blow to folks that are probably already taking it in the teeth. Just my .02.

Southwest did the same thing.

Would have been good to at least give the people in the pool a shot at another interview?
IDK maybe something?
It’s just a ruthless industry and bad timing. I guess I just need to remind myself of that. Other industries are a lot different.
I couldn’t leave someone who jumped through every hoop out on the street but I guess that isn’t just on AS but his former employer as well.

Did they actually dump them or will they be the first to come back? If they straight up dumped them after giving them a class then yea that’s cold.

We were told that we should reapply if and when hiring commences in the future. No mention of any preferential hiring should that time come. Again, my experience with HR was nothing but positive overall despite the way it ended. Unfortunately it’s been a garbage year for everyone.
