Not sure about referrals, but I did ask about editing a profile after it is submitted and the answer I got was, "we're still working out the bugs of transitioning to Smart Recruiters." I would imagine employee referrals is probably just another "bug" they're working on.

That's so Alaskan Airways because you know, pilots who make the best PAs are the "Chuck Yeagers" in the making and climbing the ladder is all about the orifice skills. I'm so glad that HR has the power to hire the finest pilots just as Hillary will become the greatest president ever!

No need to apologize, little buddy. I feel your frustration. Maybe you can get on with a real airline or are you another DAL/UAL/AAL/etc. reject? Btw, HR already knows how I feel about their hiring practices.

I got the email last Friday and have the phone screen this week and mine has probably been on there just as long if not longer. I believe it's just a matter of time before they get around to it but who knows. If I recall from a previous post the phone screen is really not indicative of an upcoming interview but more of we're interested, keep updating your resume type of thing.
Hmm.

And the interesting thing about that is that at the NWAC career forum last week, the system chief pilot told us all that there would not be a mass application window again - all applications will be drawn from the talent community.

That's how I understand it to be. There won't be a traditional "application window" like they've done in the past where you fill out a new app and turn in your resume. It will now be a time where they pull applicants from the SmartRecruiters site and start calling applicants for an interview. I also understand that it may allow you to update your SmartRecruiter app when the "window" is open. But it seems like they're gathering info as we speak via your SmartRecruiter so when the "window" opens it will be a time for HR to call people based on the info they're gathering now. Also, those who have gone to the meet and greets (those who stood out at the meet and greets) will be the first ones called.
