Alaska hiring

[Boxboy]

If you look at the past several classes, you can see what we're looking for: USAF.


Or Great Lakes.


Seriously.

Really? I thought Air Force pilots couldn't fly jets but they do one heck of a job with those UAVs!:laugh:

 

[Dash8don]

Someone told me our current CP is former Lakes. Is that true? May have something to do with it.

That was funny?

 

[Boxboy]

Relax Francis, I can make fun of our own!

No. The lakes guys have family connections.

 

[CesnaCaptn]

No. The lakes guys have family connections.

Do you think that's why we're dropping the PIC requirement? Too many sons and daughters that are stuck in the right seat at a regional? Maybe it's so we can still get people in the door when the other legacies are hiring.

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

I just flew with a CA whose kid is a Laker FO. I'm sure he'll be happy to hear this.

 

[SneakyJake]

Regardless, it's because HR is in charge.

 

[flythere]

Any AK guys wanna be my friend for 50 bucks and a bottle of hooch?

gotta a sister??

 

[timmay]

gotta a sister??

Yeah she's 6'2 245lbs. Her name is Chris and I told her to take REAL good care of you.

ooof!

 

[Crash Pad]

Anyone catch the part about High School stats:

"I see you graduated summa cum laude from Notre Dame but I want to talk a little bit about this C in Home Economics"

How did the AK interview go?

"nailed the sim, HR, and chief pilot part it went south when they pulled the high school transcript during the panel. Looks like another few years stuck flying Air Force 1"

New position bid out only 8 new captains system wide. So much for growth. This is pretty weak.

Welcome to Alaskassmallworld. Thanks geezers!

 

[becket]

One captain upgrade a month for the next 8 months?! Wasn't there a big aircraft order? Isn't age 65 over? This doesn't seem right.

 

[RNP.15]

Seem right? Remember thinking weakens the team.

 

[AKMD80GUY]

Here's to a few more years as a senior FO.

Touche'

We're shrinking guys. I moved up 9 numbers recently, and there's only going to be 8 vacancies. Not cool.

So much for the virtuous cycle. At least they've shown their cards. There won't be any aces being dealt during this negotiating cycle.

 

[CesnaCaptn]

...not that this pilot group would ever deal this management any aces.

I just wonder if a merger is already being put into motion. With a likely CPA in place for most the State of Alaska flying, it would be a lot easier to manage from Atlanta or Dallas. Perhaps a former "world's biggest airline" wants the title back.

I wouldn't be surprised if a few CEOs (Tilden and Parker, Horton, Andersen, Kelly, or Dunkerly) get together and look at what a combined airline would look like.

 

[ImbracableCrunk]

I heard that this last bid was the work of the same guy who put out the quickly-retracted memo on report times.

We finally have a ween-er!!

The goal is to shed the bay area, So Cal, intra AK stuff, get rid of the -400's. That puts them in a position to serve the remaining 120 or so -800/-900's up to Daddy Delta on silver platter, plus all labor contracts signed sealed and delivered!!

My guess is sometime in late 2015 or 2016!!

What memo was that ?? I don't recall

Seriously.

I know of at least one Navy guy that squeaked through.....

 

[flythere]

What memo was that ?? I don't recall

It appeared on the logbook page for a couple of days, then it mysteriously disappeared!! I assume someone started asking questions and they pulled it!! I think they (management) submit the majority of the questions to the logbook, with their canned answers! It's their version of rumor control!!

 

[cfi_greg]

Does anyone know when the application window is open, I thought it was today, but there isn't any postings.

 

[DHPFLYN]

It already opened and then closed once they hit there target number.

Try again next time
