Same footprint as the other submissions. Plenty of opportunities for questions - we were asked 3 times. Group TMAAT: …your integrity was questioned…you disagreed with an instruction given from a non-pilot person. There were at least 10 questions to choose from when they had them face down and went around the room to have you draw one. Interview: TMA your resume…your flight history. Why Alaska? Who’s your aviation role model? What will be your biggest challenge...

Exactly as advertised. Had about 3 weeks notice before the interview to begin preparing. I chose to drive to the interview the night before where they provided a hotel. Very relaxed experience. The first presentation is the same one they give at their meet the chiefs event. They want you to succeed! No gotcha questions or anything outside of this gouge. Class dates are out a few months at the...

Whole process was very straightforward. From start to finish, Alaska made it clear they were favoring personalities over technical ability. They left our group to talk amongst ourselves for the majority of the day (09:15-3:45). After an hour-long presentation by the Chief pilots, a group interview was conducted. Group interview was quick, involving only an introduction and a single question per person. Individual interviews came after an hour long lunch. While waiting for our turn, we...

The interview experience was great. The vibe at Alaska is amazing. The individual interview was about twenty minutes and they asked nothing that caught me by surprise. After the individual interview they walked out for about five minutes to debrief and then came back and told me to follow them and wait on the couch. The three HR lady’s and two pilots came back about ten minutes later and congratulated myself and another interviewer. Took pictures by the plane and then straight to drug...

Everything was as expected based on previous reports of the day's plan. Their company speech was compelling and definitely sold me in the moment.. They gave us a pen and a reusable company water bottle which supports their sustainability efforts. That was a nice touch. At the group interview, I was give a question, (view the study guide of this website).  Other questions to the applicants were all TMAAT questions I had seen. Then lunch and a lot of waiting and chatting with the...

As advertised! Meet with a group of nervous potentials in the hotel lobby, walk over to the super nice Hub building, and check in. You get walked upstairs to a great presentation where they start to put your mind at ease. Everyone is super nice, they clearly want you to succeed. After that the group interview, followed by lunch. Food was excellent! There was always someone around to answer questions if anyone had them. Then the solo interviews started kicking off. I think mine lasted about...

All of the other trip reports are spot on. For being local, I drove up that morning and parked in the lot just outside the building. If you are early, they have a coffee shop and restrooms inside. During the group interviews be prepared to give a fun fact and short intro before hitting the TMAAT questions. Lunch was very quick. Be prepared to sit for a few hours with some strangers as you wait for your one on one. Fortunately there were some folks who helped drive conversation and calm...
