New tidbit out of another “ how do we stop attrition” meeting. Pushing all job offers out in to the 90-120 day timeframe . Theory is that most pilots shopping job offers will take the class date at a major. Realization that competing against the major players is too costly. They want to collect data on what the majors are doing in that regard and bump the Alaska timeframe outside of that…Almost logical, Almost

I see your point, and as I said, this information could be incorrect or overstated but until you prove otherwise, stating it's a false allegation, is to perpetuate the claim. Otz gets called out because Otz, gets/has been, PROVEN wrong, time after time. He is verifiably wrong. Unfortunately, there seems to be a number of people on here that do believe everything he says. Some even seek his, "wisdom"...

I attended the PDX MTC event, and got the recommendation from that. I also got an internal recommendation, and I meet nearly all of their preferred requirements, including 1500 hours of jet time. I applied two days ago, after completing my ATP written, and my app says under review. All that to say, I'm optimistic.
I have a possible opportunity to go travel abroad with my brother for 9 days at the beginning of March. However, I want to give priority to an interview here, if I get one. Assuming Alaska wants to interview me, does anyone know the likelihood of interviews for someone in my position taking place within the first 10 days of March? I imagine they choose to interview in batches. When they call to schedule an interview, do they give a number of dates to choose from, and if you can't make those dates, you lose the opportunity or are pushed until the next interview cycle? Does anyone know if the currently scheduled interviews are occurring before early March? Am I being too optimistic thinking that I could be interviewing as early as the first week or two of March?
Just trying to find the balance between continuing to live life/taking opportunities when they come vs putting my life on hold and prioritizing getting hired ASAP over everything else for seniority's sake. Thanks for any and all input.
