Your question is not answerable.
You're absolutely right, I guss are better worded question would be is this type of hiring unusual? More/less?

OE complete! (For the Delta guys who lurk on our Alaska forums, I flew into JNU 3x on OE ... my last time the other day had JAWS reports of Severe and fog below 100' down the entire runway except the first 1000' or so. Wisely, my Capt did the landing, but still a good experience!)

For those of you trying to get hired here, stay persistent. Have a pilot you know take you to meet one of the chief pilots. This is a great place to fly, good training and instruction, everyone I've met enjoys working for the company, and all the instructors are here to help you get through training.

Congrats Cricket! Hope you get to fly with Captain Kim Rose, former Coastie who gave me my qual out of Kodiak..or Captain Jimmy Cullinane, who set the standard for good guys at USCGA. Have fun and fly safe.

Default CP pre-interview

Just got done with a pre-interview with one of the Seattle CPs yesterday. Has anyone heard of people getting an invitation to the 2-day interview after one of these "meet and greets"? If so, how long did it take to get the invite?

How'd you set up a meet and greet?

We don't lurk on your forums... you're participating in a DL forum.


Congrats and welcome to the airline world!

Hi all. Just wondering if it is worth it to go to the NW career forum in Puyallup to meet Alaska guys/gals? I'm a 7 year regional FO with not much hope in sight of making capt anytime soon. Over 4k TT and 3300 turbine. I don't know if there is any credit to showing up to their events. I know they don't go to many.
Thanks

Please, read the previous pages on the forum. You will find your answers. By this question it seems like you haven't been following the forums regarding AS much. To briefly answer your question: yes. I think the deal in Puyallup is in Feb, go to it if you can. If you are not a member of OBAP and WAI, join and go to their annual meetings and career fairs.

Thanks for the response. I have read thru the previous pages, it's a PITA to sort thru the bs sometimes so I asked the question.

With AS, its always worth going to as many of these career fairs that AS is participating in. Networking counts for a lot anywhere, but particularly at AS.
