Default Alaska's hiring process

Looking forward to Alaska's hiring in near future

Minimum requirements?

Hiring process e.g. interview, sim, written and so on?

Pilot culture?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Online application window opens next week.

First class in the schoolhouse in December.

First classes 10-12 pilots a month growing to 16 per month. Estimating 382 pilots hired in the next three years.

No sim check.

Set of 3 interviews:

1. A short phone interview with HR.
2. Board interview with 3 pilots and HR.
3. Personal interview with Chief Pilot.

Requirements:

4 year degree
3000 total
1000 turbine ME

There is a hour conversion formula for military TACAIR guys but not sure what that is (usually 1.2 or 1.3:1)

Hey Fish,
Do you know how the pilot referrals will work. Will there be a link for you all to input one, or do we start hitting up our Alaska buds now to get letters to upload ourselves. Also, any word on the silver bullet? Thanks for any additional info you may have.

Get your AS buds on the stick now. They should attach an electronic copy of your resume to their electronic recommendation letter and send the package to the Chief Pilot.

App window opens next week...get them on it. There are already a bunch of recs on the CPs desk.

The website app link will be open for business next week.

Fish,

Thanks for the info.

Is the app link going to be Alaska's own or Pilotcredintials similar to FedEx and SWA?

Also, are all the interviews conducted in a single day or on multiple visits in phases?

Thanks in advance.

The 1,000 turbine ME is PIC.

Anyone know if they are going to drop it to 750 turbine ME PIC if you have 2,000 turbine ME SIC?

FWIW from another post:

OBAP=Organization of Black Airline Pilots. Career Fair.
I can't find the mins on the web site either. In Feb. AS was handing out flyers with minimums listed as 1,000 Multiturbine PIC (or Single military jet) or they'll drop the PIC requirement to 750 if you have 2,000 Turbine SIC. Class 1 medical, non-nicotine user, good judgement, good character, etc.
I found you can create the online profile and not apply for a job until it become available.
