For me, it was about five years from application to the first call. (I had applied and even interviewed way back in 2002. It was four years from the first application after about six years of not applying for various reasons.) Got invited to the meet & greet in January of 2017 and was told to expect a call for an interview shortly thereafter. Nine months later, I got the usual "please reapply" message.
There you go. The phone will ring when it rings, and that doesn't mean that it means anything.

Not sure how I gave you that impression, but I have not made it. I've spent the better part of this year expecting a call for an interview based on what I was told at the meet & greet in January. The only thing I've heard since then was "please reapply" when the application window was open last month. I'll be surprised if I get another call.

My statement is not based off facts, just on what I observe flying up and down the west coast. Every airport I land at has significantly more Southwest aircraft over Alaska airplanes, with the exception of a few cities.
Alaska has done a good job in the past year or two growing their route structure (thanks Skywest!) so that a passenger doesn't always have to go through Seattle to get somewhere, but many of our destinations still require a visit to Seattle.

Oh come on Biz, you know OCCP has attacked the old AS pilots as weak and spineless since the day the acquisition was announced. Every post is about his hate for all things Alaska, that this the worst place to work and anyone coming here or wanting to come here is a fool. He doesn’t get an atta-boy for throwing out one little qualifier like that. Besides, I’m just playing along, tit for tat. Rattling the cage a little. Really, no I’ll will towards him or any new “team mates”
heII, now that the list is done, we may even get to fly together and bitc* about the company, together, over a niiiice loooong 4 day...yippee!!
