Any leads on recruiting events for the rest of the year? Obviously Osh Kosh, anywhere else??

Alaska has 4 domiciles right?
How many crews in each of those?
Is there a definite difference between schedules and flying between SEA and PDX or are they pretty much the same? Any base considered to be "senior" or more/less desirable?

With the hiring window now officially closed for everyone except Horizon pilots, do calls/emails for an interview invite go out relatively quickly or does Alaska like to keep the pace of interviews to a comfortable level meaning calls to interview come in intervals long after the window has closed?

When I interviewed the calls went out 1 week prior to the interview. I'm not sure if it's still the same.

The trend seems to be long gaps followed by a call shortly before interview dates. (10~12 days)
ie: sit, sit, sit, sit, KLAXON!: Scramble!!!
(I hope that changes in the future.)

Thanks for the replies! Sounds like one needs to be ready at all times after the window has closed!

Yes. A little while ago one was an update from the union with pdf file attachments that was in a Q&A format. It lists their 4 domiciles and the approximate size of each.

The fences are going to be so high no VX guys will be based is SEA or PDX for at least 8 years from right now, it honestly could even be longer. This will also be true for any AS guys in SFO on the bus.

But seniority is very similar in the two bases. Flying lines are about the same, except SEA is almost 4x the size, so about 4x the junk

Not sure about your info stream there scooter.....couple of years for balance and it is going to be the wide open range....

Company wants a 5 year equipment lock. You have been here a while. What the company wants the company gets. If we blow the doors off this merger we might be voting on a JCBA next summer. SLI if we had our hair on fire would be done first of the year 2018. That wide open range would then be open 2023...maybe. Union feels only 3 bases would need protection or a fence; SFO, SEA, PDX. From all of the legal and historical context gathered to this point a 10 year fence would probably be the most likely. If the optimistic time line above is achieved, that has those three domiciles fenced to 2028... Cheers
