All will be back by January 31. For the first group that was furloughed, it will end up being just a little over 3 years since they were on the property. Interviews and hiring is supposed to start by the end of this Fall for classes late Winter / early Spring next year. Our system chief pilot is working on getting the Silver Bullet program going again, since he believes there's a lot of merit to it. Hopefully HR will go for it.

Dakota Kid,
I would suggest going to job fairs and getting face time with people at the Alaska booth, when they start attending these fairs again. That's a great way to get called for an interview. I know a lot of people (including myself) who got called for an interview this way.
Good luck!

What are the chances of ever getting looked at without the PIC time? I am at a regional that is so slow to upgrade that I have a good amount of time just no PIC. I have two family members that are captains with Alaska and a good friend of the family is a check airmen. I assume in a few years airlines will start to drop the PIC requirement when they can't find qualified people but I was just wondering about the near future. Dare to dream I am sure.

Could someone please post how the new retirement system works? I know there is no more A-fund for newbies. Is it a 401k program only? Is it a B-fund, or a combination?
Also, what about medical benefits? How much? Are they comparable to other airlines?
Junior base? PDX, SEA? Junior trips? Are they ANC red-eye turns in the winter and Mexico in the summers?
Interested in going to AS.
