Also, I went to Puyallup in February (they had an aviation trade show); there I met the chief pilot. I know those things do add up ...

AS is a nicotine free company. Any admitted use is the end of the line. They will test for nicotine on the newhire drug screen, but not again. After you're hired, it's not an issue.

Thanks F15. I live just up the road from Puyallup Fair grounds and will definitely attend that. So I'm weighing how much added benefit I gain from attending the WIA a month later hoping to get an interview vs. the impact on my regional FO budget.

And that's the million-dollar question. Frankly, I'm cautious about the "pay-to-hope-to-play" game when it takes food off the table for my kids. With the trade show in February just down the road from me and other angles I have available to me, I'll be weighing my options carefully. Don't get me wrong, Alaska is my first choice, but my family's well-being always comes first.
