I currently work for a 135 in AK flying twin turbine PIC. Ive had an app in since mid summer 2023. I attended the Seattle MTC in August and I thought it went good. I recently met with ANC chief this fall and thought it went extremly well. I was told - I would be a great fit, going to put a good word in for me, given a business card, and told to contact if I havent heard anyhting by January. I genuinely enjoyed the interaction and we talked for probably 40 minutes. Ive read through several forums and in regard to the Seattle MTC this past August in particular, I noticed that some particpants received a recomendation for interview, and actually did get an interview sometime after. I did not... and I wasn't really expecting some sort of recomendation or anything but meerely an opportunity to demonstate my seriousness about joining the Alaska team. Now I guess my question(s) are - Is a lack of recomendation after a large MTC event an indication of disinterst and time to start looking at other options? Ive read scenarios where qualified people wait and wait and never receive a call and at what point should someone quit holding their breath? Is the hiring boom for first officers coming to a hault?
Alaska is the only place I have a resume out to and I want to continue living in AK and not interested in commutting long term.

What I can tell you is a little over a year ago I was sitting next to a lady on a flight from Anchorage who was high up at Alaska in the HR department. I was discussing my son and submitting a application and she was adamant that the applicant have at least 1000 hour of 121 time. Now this may have changed, and maybe they make exceptions. But she made it very clear that without that number, that you would not be considered. Best of luck to you

Alaska could have this deal go through, get up to 550 airframes with 50 widebodies, 400 737s and 100 RJs and some people here will still call Alaska a regional.
