Dear XXXXXXXX
Yes, the “rumor” is true! We are reopening the pilot application process the morning of Wednesday, April 11th. We are excited to continue the hiring process and would like to share the following helpful application tips:
•Only online applications are accepted via https://careers.alaskaair.com/Alaska-CareerOps.asp starting Wednesday, April 11th.
•The requisition will be open for 7 days; closing at 11:59pm on Wednesday, April 18th.
•Although you previously applied in XXXXX 2011, you will need to reapply when the posting window opens.
•The hiring team will review resumes once the requisition closes. We are looking for best qualified and don’t provide preference to those that applied first.
•The system will accept an infinite number of applications.
•The REQUIRED browser is Internet Explorer 8 or above. In order to successfully submit your application, you MUST use this browser.
•The online application process takes approximately 30 minutes. Be prepared to supply 10 years of work experience plus your high school information as well as any secondary education.
•A current resume is a required part of the application process. Once your application is submitted, your resume cannot be edited or deleted.
•You are able to attach up to five letters of recommendation. To do this, you must click on the “My Career Tools” section on the careers page (upper right hand corner) and navigate to the section titled “Cover Letters and Attachments”. You will then be prompted to add attachment and list the document title.
•Please read each question with care and not rush through the application. This will ensure the application is processed correctly and given full consideration for an interview. Due to the selection process being highly competitive, it is critical the application has accurate information.
We strongly encourage you to apply during the week following April 11th, not necessarily on April 11th. As witnessed last time, too many candidates applying at the same time slows down the system and causes possible inactivity.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us at [email protected].
We sincerely appreciate your continual pursuit of employment at Alaska Airlines.
Thanks,
SM

As we discussed a month ago. There are a lot of pilots looking. The overall value of the new contract is very important for anyone below 1/2 down the list. We will see how things develop, and how many will opt to leave.

Hey Guys
Heads up. I just had my credit card info stolen and used while laying over in DTW. Pretty sure it was at the Max & Ermas close to the hotel. They used it several times for groceries in and around Detroit. Don't normally eat at Max & Erma's but it was Easter and the only place open.

Buzz, it is the sad reality of it all. A great guy like you will a awesome second career, and a military pension is looking elsewhere. Those that have none of those are in a different position financially and are looking even harder. This one really matters. Pilots are looking inside and outside of this career, many of whom are accepting of a temporary hit financially to get a head in the mid and long term.

LiveLeak.com - Girl blown away by jet blast
The dude that stepped back first suffered a broken leg and the chick suffered head and neck trauma. Stupid actions on their part.... but exacerbated by the showboating and the plane being 50+ feet into the blast pad.
Please tell me this is being investigated? oh wait... I can google it.

Anyone ever taken their iPhone on a romantic swim in salt water? Did it dry out and work again?
