Here's the latest from the VP of Ops:
To support this projected 6% growth rate, we have interviewed 32 candidates and hired 18 so far. The next round of interviews are scheduled for the middle of December where we will fill up the remaining 25 new hire slots we anticipate needing through February. We will take a brief break from hiring in the spring and then will resume the hiring process in July. From July to December of next year we anticipate hiring an additional 66 which will bring the total number of new hires to approximately 91 over the next year.
I want to make clear to you that the numbers mentioned above are a good snapshot of the growth we are planning for with the information we have as of today. Once again, and I cannot overemphasize this, these numbers could change either way as they are HIGHLY dependant on guys returning from LOAs, retirements, the economy, oil prices, competition, and other factors.

The interviews happened. All classes have been filled. Last class will be Feb21st. Sounds like they may allow updates to app or maybe have everyone reapply. Hopefully the CP's office will have more say this time vs HR running the entire show! Next round of interviews may not happen till April/May or later. Probably no more classes till late summer or into fall. I will not hold my breath for any of this to happen at AS.

Gents, Can anyone confirm that this is the website to check.
https://careers.alaskaair.com/Alaska-CareerOps.asp
I'm assuming that when they start accepting applications, the job will post to the site.

That is the correct site. Check it daily and when they post a listing for First Officers it will be on there. You can go on the website now and at least set up a profile and upload a resume. I applied last go around and I can now go on my profile and it shows that I've applied. I was never called for an interview, but am hopefull that one is coming sometime this year!
