This thread has gone by the way side. Anyone experience a phone call for an AS interview? Or heard from a friend who has?

Have a friend who got a "Thanks for applying, please try again" letter 1 or 2 weeks ago. Other than that, nothing heard.

There's a thread in the hiring news sub forum with people talking about this over the last few days. Sounds as though a few have received a "thanks but no thanks" email, as they are calling it. Would like to hear if any one has received a phone call. I have heard nothing as of yet (good news??). Hopeful, but trying to remain realistic. Good luck!

I wish I knew lindsay! I'm in the same boat. Good luck to all

I would think no news is good news from Alaska right now. I feel bad for the guys who got the thanks, but no thanks email, hoping somewhere else opens up for them.

Let's hope calls for interviews go out soon!

Best of luck! I put a dollar in Lucky Cat!

I spoke to someone near the CP and they said the next round of interviews is planned for May. They are talking about interviewing 20-30 or so and hiring a class of 10-12. Everyone who is interviewed is qualified. They are looking for people who are "the right fit."

It's a tough nut to crack but if you are the right person, you will be rewarded with a good career.

Wow, and to think we all thought they were going to be hiring about 40-60 and now it's 10-12.

The odds just got longer! I'm going to put two dollars in Lucky Cat now!

New Hire Intel
 

The latest news I have heard:

3 Bids remaining this year with effective dates of Nov 2013, Dec 2013 and Feb 2014.

Nov = 22 new hires
Dec = 10 new hires
Feb = 24 new hires.

These number are always subject to change and usually do.

2014 and beyond should be around 100 new hires a year till the cows come home. The 5 year pause button is finally just about done.

Good luck to you all. It's a great place to work.

Thanks mudhen! Gives us all some more hope, but I already put $2 in Lucky Cat, can't take it back out! :eek:

F-15E's? I was an intel geek with the Chiefs back in the day.

The real story is··········hiring will comence after a contract is signed. Contract is 6 months out minimum. If your source is in the top ten percent then they are not a source. Honest estimates are 20- 40 per year indefinately.
