Isn’t it common for hiring to slow down during the holidays anyway? Also, Alaska hiring isn’t going to be like it is at the larger legacy carriers. It’s a young group and a relatively small airline.
Also there’s nothing stopping anyone from applying directly to other majors.

Figure half will go military. Add 40 slots per year for the projected 2% annual growth, and still you aren't really talking more than 5-6 flowing a month out of a QX group of ~850. That would give the junior guy about a 12 year wait.

My personal thoughts are, keep applying and interviewing at majors including Alaska(if that’s your goal). Don’t make waiting for the pathway your only hope. If the pathway works out before you get hired on with a major then great.

It’s very difficult to project but consider many pilots will leave QX to go to other majors instead of waiting their turn for the pathway. That will help movement some.

I'd make that, "If you get hired on by a major before the pathway works for you, that's great."
Otherwise I pretty much agree with you.
