This is the only pilot group that takes an a$$ pounding with a smile. I've never seen anything like it.

What's worse is that our MEC comes out and tells us that this is the best TA ever and that we should vote for it. Some of the union guys have become too buddy/buddy with management types. Of course, the MEC seems to be a pipeline to management positions.

I believe the last three classes this year have been filled, with plans to start calling people in the pool for January new hire dates later this year.

"Nice resume. Too bad coming here doesn't count towards anything at Alaska since you don't have your app in."

"But you aren't taking applications or I'd have applied."

"Correct."

Sorry, I'm new to this game. Applications for other airlines went out in July. I wrongly assumed that if an organization is going to pay money for a booth and look for qualified pilots, they'd at least have a means to accept applications at the same time.

Our pilot hiring process is fairly undeveloped and amateurish...It gets recycled often and functions much like a rudderless ship....a simple guideline for applicants would be nice.....not going to happen though

From what I understand, Alaska does a pretty good job of filtering out people who "shotgun" applications with everyone ... which it sort of sounds like you are doing. I understand, but just realize at this company, that will radically decrease your chances of an interview.
