The bags are designed this way, don't worry your bag is functioning properly.

Zero chance that luggage will be part of anything.....We have no luggage policy and we pay for 100% of the uniform.....including wings, ties and epauletts.....More to love at Alaska Air....

Is the luggage given to pilots by VX considered "company property" or is/was it gifted to the pilots and is therefore owned by each pilot?

I just ask because I wonder if they can pull the "we need to see whats in your bag and we can because the bag belongs to us..." routine.

VX hiring question: Is VX having classes through the summer, or are you all on a hiatus until July/Aug?

The bags are yours to keep. If anyone asks you they need to look inside it better be a TSA agent or law enforcement.. otherwise no company personnel should ever ask that question. As far as hiring, I have no idea. We usually take a break over the summer months but this place is so terribly understaffed it wouldn't surprise me if AS keeps the hiring up.

Default Questionnaire

Received the questionnaire on 4-14 like everyone else and was just curious if anyone has heard anything yet? Hit the 2 week mark and just seeing if anyone got anything towards an interview or the next step.
