Minimums are listed on the Alaska Airlines' website under the job listing "Future Pilot Hiring". You must submit this online application to get into the system.

No classes or interviews currently scheduled. There are still a number of pilots in the pool awaiting a class date.

Rumors abound, but nothing concrete...and nothing will be concrete until the contract is finalized in the next couple of months.

FLX - Hasn't that pool been drained YET? It wasn't that big.

 

[flx757]

No, not yet. The MD FO new hire positions that were reduced (or eliminated) left some still swimming.

I hear from time to time from some guys who are still in the pool waiting...and wondering....

...still waiting and wondering. 28 months and counting.

Hang in there Rhino. I'm sure you are really pruny by now being in the pool for so long, but it is worth the wait!
By the end of the month we'll have the verdict of the arbitration and hopefully hiring will begin.

Good luck!

I'd give my left one to at least be in the pool. If I had to bag groceries at Safeway in the meantime, I would have a grin ear to ear.
