My post was implied to mean last hiring window, the February window. Additionally, I have a friend who already got a no thank you from that window.

Airlines Execs should be very nervous
When I talked to recruiters at WAI they asked if I had any internal recommendations, don't know a soul who works at Alaska. The recruiter told me they had over 3000 applicants & 1200 of those had internal recommendations. I'm trying to remain positive...haven't received the thanks but no thanks email.
The group of 3,000 perhaps have their applications into Spirit, JBLU, Virgin, Atlas, etc.
The picture I am getting is there is not a large group of pilots out there looking for work.

I can believe that most of the applicants for Alaska have also applied at Airways, Atlas, Spirit, JetBlue, Virgin, United, et al.
What I think it's coming down to is who hires you first. Who gives the first class date.
Alaska would be an awesome company to work for, but the odds are long...
Good luck everyone!

Myself plus four others at work applied during last window. Of those one interviewed last week, one has a scheduled interview. Three of us have heard no news- good news. The first two both had recommendations, us last three did not. Of those two the first had prior 737 PIC and second had just TPIC. Looking for all walks? Or just looking to be walked in?...
Not sure how either had answered questionnaire by the way.

I think this is true to an extent, however I'd bet that more so than any other company, Alaska has more applicants that haven't applied elsewhere. I've personally talked to quite a few people that are interested in Alaska only, and would otherwise seek out corporate or something non airline.

I applied in the Feb window. I have not received a phone call, nor a "no thank you" email, so I am still hopeful. I have 9000TT, 6500Turbine, 4500PIC Turbine, all 121 time, and a company check airman. Unfortunately, no internal recs. Anybody getting the call for an interview with similar times without recommendations?
