Just asking, can that be correct? Assuming all the canidates are CAs, "close to 100 pilots" would be roughly be a quarter of QXs captains. If the pool is an mix of CA and FOs that's about 12% of the whole pilot population. 100 poolies just seems like a big number.

Correct. As of the current list, it's 95 pilots in the pool. The majority of the list are junior-ish people when looking at the big picture. Pilots 1-8 are 1999 hires and earlier. Pilots 9-10 are 2004 to 2005. Pilots 11 to 95 are 2012 to 12/4/2017 hires. It's a mix of CAs and FOs. close to 50/50. Pilots are added to the list in respective seniority and are offered class dates in seniority.

Aaaah, I see. It’s a seniority stacked scheme. Lower seniority folks will be in the pool a very long time. Thanks.

Latest Pathway list has 206 pilots. That has doubled since the previous round of interviews. Still dead in the water with Alaska putting hiring and classes on hold. Rumor is classes could resume by October/Fall. Coincidentally, that is when the Alaska/Virgin SLI should be completed.

Lots of stagnation at Alaska right now. Compared to the majors the retirement rates and growth are very small. Expect to sit in the right seat for at least 10 years

Flowing 36 pilots in October? That's a ton!

Edit: 17, still a lot!
