Alaska hiring?

[Jeepman]

Just wondering if anyone has been called for an interview since Puyallup? I thought I heard it would be about now nut wasn't sure.

After going to Puyallup, WIA, and meeting with the Seattle CP I'm wondering what else I should do.

 

[Buford]

I'm wondering the same thing. I had a very positive talk with the system CP and HR folks at Puyallup and left feeling very optimistic. I have also exchanged a couple of emails with the hiring people and was under the impression for a while that an interview was imminent, even to the point of AS asking me what dates I could be available for an interview. And now, nothing. I'm surmising that there is no hiring happening at the moment. Or maybe they've given up on me.....

205 guys this year is what they are saying now ...no slowdown

 

[Boxboy]

Hiring a bunch for sure!
I'd look at the big three for a job though unless you need to live in the northwest. Better progression and pay at those places. Just the facts.

 

[Jeepman]

I'm a PNW guy so Alaska is number 1.

You do realize that Delta has new hires in the 737 and 767 in SEA, don't you?

But delta..... Sucks

Yeah. Let me count the way it sucks after one whole year at DAL on the 737.

1.) Holding a line with only 16 days off.
2.) Only 1,100 people junior to me.
3.) Only making $107/hr on second year pay.
4.) Only a 15% 401k match
5.) Flying business class round trip to Europe for vacation for next to nothing - then paying for the rest of the trip with your profit sharing check.
6.) Possibly getting awarded a better paying category on the current system bid.

Yeah, pretty awful - it sucks, don't apply.

Looks like someone took the bait.

Talk about not getting sarcasm. The butt-hurt runs deep.
