Don't let your chance of being hired at a carrier be lost because some third party didn't get to talk with the right person. Your letters of recommendation would most likely be the source of character references.
Good Luck!

I reapplied today but when I was double checking my prevous entries under college education, I got a message saying "graduate indicator should be set to on" but I saw no such indicator, even after looking with multiple browsers. Anyone else have this problem?

It is not the easiest system to navigate, and once you hit submit, you are locked in. Funny thing is, my ex-neighbor (I used to live in SEA) is an IT manager in charge of their website. I think I am going to call him and give him some heat about it.
I had to make a correction to my resume' and add an availability date since there wasn't a spot for one on their website. I just emailed their HR folks and they got right back to me. The email that I got back was very friendly, personal, and conversational, not an automatic response or anything like that. It just reaffirmed my decision to apply and hope for an interview. I would definitely rather fly with Alaska then a few of their higher paid competitors.
