Alaska New Hire Class

[3d homer]

If they have filled classes through Nov. how many of the ~94 new hires have already been selected for the year? Are they still interviewing?

still going, and going and going...

As of last Friday, there were 87 people on the call list. These are the "silver bullets" who will be called in the next year.
Paul Majer has recently said that there would be 108 new hires from May 02 to May 03. He also said that is a minimum number and there would probably be more that 108 hired. The company seems to always underestimate the number of new hires they need, and usually end up hiring more than they expected to.
The class size seems to be about 6 to 8. The training department is going to be pushed pretty hard between now and Jan, do to a recent bid for about 50 new captains. That bid is effective Jan 1, so a lot of people need to go through the school house between now and then - hence the small new hire class sizes - they just can't train that many people that fast...
Good luck to all.

Gents,

New to the board, so bear with me. I had my stuff downloaded from Alaska via UPAS right around 9/11 (I think the day before). I now have a SB, so is there a number I can call to see if I made that cutoff?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just curious if anyone on these boards is slated for the August 5th class? If so, drop me an email @ f28driver@aol. Thanks.

Alaska August 5th Class

Talked with Heidi this morning. Asked her about the breakdown of the upcoming August 5th class. She was very busy but said it would be a mix of MD and 737 with mostly SEA slots.
