The LAX schedule has not returned to pre-pandemic flying. We used to have east coast red eyes out of LA on both fleets. BWI, IAD, New York area, etc. LAX has no redeyes going out. The only redeyes for this base are ANC inbound and Hawaii-inbound. While they are adding Airbus now, the long term plan is to close Bus SFO, open Boeing SFO, and consolidate the Bus base to a single one at LAX. Over time that will shrink (reduce). For the time being, the Bus fleet is "growing" but it will reduce again after next year's Summer/Fall.
I see both Airbus CA and FO going junior. It's basically a dying fleet, with the exception of present time to Sept 1, 2021. IMO if you want LAX I'd bid LA Boeing as #1 then LA Airbus as #2.

Did you apply as currently available or with a future availability date? It’s reading into some things, but it sounds they’re not doing a real long lead turn between interviews and availability.

I also used Rainier Flight Service at the Renton Airport. It’s owned and operated by Alaska pilots and would be a good option for interview prep.

Just look on line for the interview gouge, I wouldn’t be spending hundreds of dollars for a formal prep service to interview at Alaska. There will be a group phase and likely a two on one phase with the types of questions you’d expect at any airline interview.

Did the guy you know put in during the window in July? Trying to gauge our chances. If they’re opening another window in September it doesn’t sound great for getting an invite before the next round.
