Alaska hiring

hiring update

So is the interviewing complete? Have the the 16 vacancies been filled? Will interviewing resume after next bid. Whopping 8-10 interviews/month?

9 of 16 applicants on the first round were hired. 6 of them go to the December class. The remaining 3 go to the January class which will have 7 slots. Pilots hired from interviews this week will fill out the remainder of the giant class of 7 in January. They should be hearing soon. Interviewing and hiring will continue at a similar pace - for now.

Any word on the next bid? Next round of interviews??

Next bid isn't out but it's been advertised to be 16 to 24 new openings, posted in November for a March effective date. Mostly going to SEA, reducing ANC by 2 or 3 spots, LAX and PDX will not change. We will see the bid very soon...

soo....

If ANC is reducing by 2 or 3...

and LAX & PDX are unchanged....

then doesn't that mean by process of elimination that ALL 16 to 24 openings would be going to SEA?

 

[igneousy2]

just heard...

"baby bid" coming out today or Monday...

8 SEA CA's May 1 effective date.

No new FO positions but 8 new hires required to replace upgraded FO's.

Next bid out Aprilish for Septemberish effective date to be larger than this small bid.

Also...

December new hire class wll have 3 LAX and remainder ANC. January class to be all ANC. Base of other classes will depend on results of this next bid.

Pace of 8 new Captains and 8 new hire FO's a month for forseeable future. (new positions...attrition would add to these numbers)

Is solicitation for PDX and ANC January vacation buy-back related to delays in requaling (as in...initial training) the final group(s) of returning furloughees?

No. Poor planning
