In case anyone was curious about current hiring from the applicant end - I applied and attended a MTC event in January, I meet mins, internal rec, I keep updating my app, etc. Not long after the MTC event, one of the base chiefs told me that "its only a matter of time [before you receive an invitation to interview]" so hopefully thats true. I am aware of the current pause in hiring due to phasing out of the Airbus.
Yesterday was the first I heard from recruiting. They sent this email:
Has anyone been given an interview date recently?

I got the exact email yesterday as well... I guess they're just backed up from the Airbus shuffle... Heres to hoping..

Second this. Has anybody gotten an interview invite? I got the above email and a few weeks ago, my application finally changed from "received" to "under review". Seems like something is moving, just not sure if interviews are happening again.

Hopefully they will at least be thinking ahead and interview/hire sometime soon to begin training early 2024.

600 new hires….Who said that. If it was a chief pilot or anyone in recruiting then you listened to a bad source. They along with the training department have no clue. Nor have they ever. We decide how many we will hire at the end of the year. For the year just passed. That is the only accurate info out there. Dec 31 2023- we will know our hiring goal for 2023

You seem to be the most knowledgeable person about everything Alaska does and doesn’t do. Does that sound like it’s “Fake News” posted by management pilots, training or recruiting on the ALPA website?

From what I heard, at Alaska you have an ALPA website where they have a membership link that they allow Alaska pilots to access. I guess there is a committee you have called “membership” and they post monthly attrition reports. Per the July attrition report, your committee members posted hiring plans and how many have been hired. They recently posted hiring goals of 620 and 217 have been hired already. Most of the newhires will begin training after the Airbus transitions complete training, which will be in the fall.

In reality this is known as not possible.

On a calendar, I hear there are 12 months. We are currently in the 7th of 12 months. It's what is called July. In August, the 8th month the Airbus pilots start training. The footprint is currently two months for Boeing to Boeing due to a month of delay for OE. I imagine that the August (8th month) Airbus to Boeing trainees will take at least 3 months but for fun lets call it two months. 8+2 = 10 lets say all Airbus pilots finish in the 10th month also called October. That leaves November the 11th month and December the 12th month to hire and train over 400 pilots.
