I haven't been in a year or two but the few years I did go, Alaska was there the whole weekend doing 5-10 minute meetings (I think you need to be there the first day to get registered). The last time I went they were sending texts to people when it was almost there time to meet so there wasn't as much of the long lines.

Would be a great question to email or Facebook message them.

The Northwest Aviation Career Forum's Facebook page just posted (02/02, 0800 pst) "We still have room at the Forum for one on one meetings with Alaska Air." I'd say Alaska will probably still be there unless no one wants to talk to them.

I guess I don't remember that. Perhaps it was because you bid the MD. I went straight from the Panel to 737-400 school with virtually no wait.

What is the "assessment"? Thanks in advance.

It's roughly the same thing you had to do for VX back when there was a VX app online.

Has anybody received the assessment and not been given an interview?

The online assignment has two parts. The first part is the personality test that takes about 20 minutes (e.g. do you like poetry). The second part is basic algebra word problems.

The assessment was done when submitting the app. I've heard that some folks got a TBNT immediately after submitting the app/assessment, and it was believed that meant a "failed" assessment. But that's just what I heard about the old VX process, YMMV.

Yes, that was why I was asking about the new process with Alaska. Now people are getting the assessment after the application and a meet and greet. Is the assessment given followed by an interview date? Or are people getting called for an interview and given the assessment after the call but prior to the interview?

In the case of getting the assessment after an interview invite it is a tool to use as part of the interview. This is much different than a tool to decide to give an interview.

Any insight?
