What I can tell you is HR is still scheduling interviews off of previous apps for January.
On a related note, QX says there are three options for AS interview prep: Emerald Coast Interview Consulting, Rainier Flight Svc. and Aviation Training Center.
Does anyone have any comments on these companies? I know Rainier is run by AS aircrew, the other two I know nothing about. Any feedback would be very much appreciated.

Interview preps are definitely highly recommended. The biggest challenge is to convince the hiring board that this is the only place that you want to work even though the pay and bennies are no where near the big three & SWA. Alaskan has always been paranoid of pilots leaving for greener pastures and its inferiority complex is ever growing in the current environment for obvious reasons-just fact.

If you don't absolutely gush over your unabated love of ALL THINGS Northwest in your interview they'll be personally insulted. Again, PERSONALLY Insulted. It's the craziest most immature thing you'll ever witness at a major airline and its 100% true. Trust me.

Sure, I found that Emerald Coast was great in many ways because they taught me a lot about interview techniques and such but it was very general with the idea that the techniques work for every airline. This is sort of true but Alaska is a different animal. ATC is great in their own way too but the people that run it are getting older and it's taking a toll on them. She gets all her info from calling the chief pilot a couple times a year and writing things down and relies heavily on reports back from applicants. Rainier is actually well connected to Alaska and can help you with questions, techniques, etc in addition to truly knowing the latest at Alaska and what they are looking for. None of these would hurt but Rainier is absolutely the best option if you're only choosing one. PM me for further details if you want.
