For the last several years (at least since 2012, or maybe it was 2011, whenever it was I started applying again), Alaska has been in the habit of dumping out all applications and advising those applicants that they may reapply, doing this on an approximately annual basis, usually toward the end of the year. From the application window in 2017, they received something like 2,500 applications. They hired 160-ish for the year. A good guess would be that this year's application window produced a similar number of applications. Projected hiring for 2018 sounds like it will be close to 2017. Even if they were to hire 400 like they had originally planned for 2017, that leaves plenty to choose from.
Take all of that, and extrapolate from there.
