A recent class at Alaska
 
I thought I'd pass along some stats from a recent class here at Alaska.
  • 10 men, 1 woman
  • 4 from Horizon
  • 2 from McChord AFB
  • 3 with Alaska regional flying. PenAir, ERA, LAB
  • 1 brother of one of our captains
  • 4 live in Gig Harbor
  • 10 are married

Bottom line: All have strong ties to the Pacific Northwest. They all live around here and most got their flying experience around here or Alaska.

no Whidbey Island Navy guys?

Glad to see that you guys are hiring. Whatever you do, don't let SWA buy you if you can help it. You guys have a great product and should be proud of your airline. Keep on keeping on.

Congrats to all, for the Gig Harbor guys, beers at the Tides on me!

This can not be!
Certain people would have you believe tht any flying in Alaska is fraught with dead ends and NO CHANCE to ever again fly in the lower 48! :) Are you SURE your stats are correct????

I'm glad it has worked out for those people.

You don't happen to know a Theodore Caldwell flying for Alaska Airlines do you?
