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!

2. This is my 4th airline. I commute. While things have improved a little, we aren’t commuter friendly compared to most other major/legacy airlines. Most of the really commutable trips are crappy redeyes that will destroy you when you get home.
3. BOI is tough. Lots of AS, DL and QX commuters. It’s doable, but tough.

How many hours are you flying at the fractional? Alaska hires people from all backgrounds, so if you’re building time I would stick it out there, rather than go to a regional… unless it would improve your schedule, pay, or QOL. Keep building TT and Turbine time and update your app every couple months.

In fact, they told me “That’s great, we currently like to hire from all backgrounds”…

Sometimes (when they can be picky) airlines like to hire 121 (and mil).
121 know what to expect as far as the lifestyle goes, and also how the training works. They probably won't quit because they don't like the schedules, they knew what they were getting into when they applied. It's not about the job (which is often harder in other aviation sectors), it's about the training and lifestyle.
