Alaska question

[jetjockey#1]

Does Alaska ask you to do a physical during the interview?

Thanks in advance.

Yep. They ask you to bend over and take one for the team.

Seriously. No. But, if you get hired you will be screened for nicotine.

That's a new one. How do they do that? just out of curiosity.

Thanks.

It depends on how quick they want you in class. I came back to SEA 3 times; 1st interview, 2nd interview (job offer same day), then back to SEA for a drug test. I have met people that did their drug testing the day of, and one the day after their second interview.

Their was no "physical" other than a nicotine and drug urine test - as well as fingerprinting. Nothing like what AMR puts you through.

The difference in timing is because the drug tests have to be completed no sooner than 30 days prior to your class date to be valid.


good luck

I believe it's part of the contract you sign there so you agree to be smoke free. It's for insurance reasons - keeping the costs lower for non-smokers.

You go to a clinic where they have you put a little pad thing between your cheek and gum.

So is there a contract that would get you fired if you were to start up smoking again, hypothetical

How about you quit smoking. You might get a job and you might live longer. Plus, you can run up hills and avoid that attractive hacker's cough...

Once you are hired you can light up and smokem if you got em. It's only the one time pre-hire test.

They had you do that? They had me pee in a cup for the nicotine test.
