Thanks! This a very old screen name from two jobs ago. I've spent the last ten years at FL450 and above. But oh well. Thanks again for the response.

Hey guys/gals! Is there anyone out there in class or waiting for a class that knows where they might stand in the whole big picture of the hiring wave (in other words, they're number xx out of 120 or whatever they are saying they're trying to hire this year due to increased utilization of the Airbuses by Alaska's expansion) ?? Any additional info for others would be great - it seems a good place to go and some friends say they're not even going to have to sit reserve hopefully!

Well a few friends/colleagues are now in several of the classes so I know there is a Mid april class that just started, May 1, May 22 and mid June all of varying sizes. It seems like it's a better place to get in to Alaska than at AS right now since the new hires are pooling for a June/July start at the earliest.

Anyone know if they were trickling in the classes the first quarter of the year until AS management announced an increase of Productivity in the Airbus VX fleet that resulted in an upping from 50 ish to 120 ish in terms of new hires in this wave. It'd be great to get in early since it seems its anyones guess if they're hiring more anytime soon coming up and the last pilot in may be enjoying reserve until a decision on drawdown of the airbus fleet as the leases expire.

Has anyone that received the questionnaire on 4/14 set up an interview?
