Speaking for us lazy spoiled dumb kids who apparently don’t know anything just because we don’t have an ATP (but might have multiple type ratings and years of experience in challengers/hawkers/citations/CJs - toy airplanes)…we appreciate your perspective on this. Thanks for taking that stance.
Apparently sharing honest feedback isn’t welcome around here, even when acknowledging how good we have it. I guess it would be better if no one said anything and Alaska sits there wondering why they have recruiting and attrition problems.

One of the number one things I have heard about the current hiring climate is people think the job is theirs and are not properly preparing because of the hiring climate. If you do not get a call back from an airline, with your years of experience, there are multiple corporate operators hiring straight into the left seat. When I started looking around, I was offered some very good jobs directly into the left seat for an aircraft I was not typed in.
If you don’t mind me asking, what is your total time and turbine PIC time? I think those are big factors when applying for job with large airlines coming from the corporate world.

Im just wondering why one without an ATP would be surprised to not get a call, even in this day and age. I know times are easy, but, really?
Edit: it’s cool that you have so many type ratings and massive experience, but your butthurt is not felt by the vast majority of those currently flying for most airlines. Best of luck.
Double Edit: When they do hire you and you find yourself in an Alaskan 737, don’t bring up your storied career flying the Challenger. Nobody cares.

A few questions: Long shot here but, would I be competitive if I applied from the most well known fractional company with only 1,500 total, 500 SIC turbine, but no turbine PIC? Or does AS look for more total time and/or turbine PIC? Yes, I have an ATP...
If not, what are competitive minimums currently?
Are SEA trips commutable?
How easy/difficult would the commute from BOI be?
Thanks!
