Two years ago they opened the window during the WAI conference. This year the window opened shortly after the WAI conference. I haven't noticed if it opened near OBAP.

I've been to several job fairs but I lack the degree, so I'll assume that's why I was bounced from the system.
Best of luck to the rest of you!

The degree thing is just an eliminator to reduce the number of apps they have to consider. I think the CP is right to get rid of it. I'd bet virtually NONE of Alaska's pilots have degrees that are useful in their day to day job.

Seriously though, in the last window, more than 2300 apps came in. It is less than the last window. It is possible they will do something in the future, but I wouldn't expect the degree to go away. There is a better chance they will pay for the hotel in training or increase first year pay.

I know Alaska can always be found at OBAP. Everyone always says "WIA" and "OBAP". There appears to be two OBAP events on the horizon. Are they going to be at the OBAP "Spring Meeting and Career Fair" in Las Vegas in April? Or are they just planning on attending the "Annual National Convention" in August in DC?
