Question for an Alaska Airlines pilot
Hey guys
I was wondering what the past hiring minimums were for Alaska Airlines? TT, PIC, etc...
That is it...no other questions or debate need be brought up! I know Alaska has pilots furloughed and I know no one is hiring and wont be hiring for a while. My long term goal is Alaska Airlines. Originally from Seattle area and have a couple of family members flying for them. (they just couldn't remember what the mins were since hired over 20 years ago)
Thanks guys and congrats on getting some of your much deserved money back!

If memory serves, as of 2 years ago, the total time requirement was 2000 hours. They had dropped the turbine PIC time down to 750. Also, if you were a Horizon pilot and had 2000 hours w/ Horizon (even in the right seat), you could apply. They couldn't get many Horizon captains to leave for ALK.
My advice for you would be to keep your options open when it comes to airline employment. When the airlines start hiring again, look around and do your homework before you choose an airline you want to fly for.
Don't put all your eggs in the Alaska basket because you're from Seattle. That's all.
Good luck.

Tell all your buddies that want to come here too that when you won't have access to the A plan that's on property to join up with all the other pilots that ALPA screwed.....
Management wants a divided pilot group, they've now got one.
Change starts now.....

Ok, so you've always wanted to come here? Great. So, how do you feel that you won't have access to the A plan but the people above you will and they sold you out to keep it that way? Does that sit well with you? Let's get a potential new-hires opinion.....

It seams that if you are a pilot at Horizon but do not have a very close or relative at Alaska, your chances are nil.

Time to look in the mirror.
