Read Page 1 ... pilots which there were around 4 others. At 9 am, one of the employees meet us and walked us up to a presentation room were they gave a run down of the company including benefits, culture, etc. Addionally, they will take your logbooks at this point to review while you are hearing the presentation. For the logbooks, they wanted all the checking events and endorsments tabbed ahead of time. For example, I put tabs for my Private, instrument, commerical, high performance endorsement, etc. After the presentation, they walk you into a lobby area and tell you to wait to be called for a one on one interview. Additionally, they will provide lunch, however, everyone was to nervous to eat till after the interview. The interview was conducted in the same room as the presentation and includes an HR representative and Chief pilot. There was no technical portion of the interview and just consisted of HR style questions. Be warned though, I was a HIGH TIME FO, so that might be the reason there was no technical. Study the HR questions and you should be great. Some good tips include know the core values of the company and use them in your answers. Also they are really big about diversity so they might ask "What does diversity mean to you?". I had some stories that included diversity in them so they skipped over this question but just be ready for it. After, they will...

Preamble is the same. Fly in the night before, The HQ Hub is visible from the hotel, there is plenty of food in walking distance or order if you prefer. It was raining in the morning so the shuttle was able to take us up the hill, you can leave your luggage at the hotel or they can store it in the lobby at the Hub personal preference if you have a flight to catch quickly. There were only 4 of us, as far as I know we all received a CJO, We all lived in a Horizon or Alaska base which I think... -

Interview was as described by previous recent accounts. The HR & chief pilot interviewers were very warm and welcoming. The tone of the interview was very kind and you could tell the interviewers wanted to see you succeed. Stayed at hotel night prior, walked 0.25 miles to the Alaska Hub building and got there at 8:40 for the 9:00am start time. Remember to plan for rain because it is Seattle and you donâ??t want to get soaked in your nice clothes. Started off with 30 min presentation... -

Gouge on site was good. Starts with phone interview, then of you pass that they give you a in person interview date. They buy ticket and hotel fo you. Short walk to HQ from hotel. Have a short presentation on the company while the interview panel looks at logbooks. Mine was electronic and had to clarify a few things. Then they take each person in one by one for interviews. Panel of 4 starts with a summary of you resume and work history. Then tmaat about safety. Tmaat about a bad captain.... -

Flew down the night before stayed at the hotel, Itâ??s a super short walk less than 5mins. Meet up with the group of 6 pilots down stairs and chatted for a bit prior to them bringing us up. I brought my suit case with me the whole time they didnâ??t care. Log books are the first thing they collect and are not overlooked, they pulled more than half of the guys to ask questions about it. After they grab books 30min presentation on horizon. Bring you out to the main area and give you lunch.... -

They gathered logbooks for review then brought you back for the interview afterward. Had a few TMAAT questions. They'll choose a city you've never been to. Understand that they have to tick off certain criteria on their end during the interview by how you answer the questions. You may be able to tick off multiple items in one question. All in all it took about an hour. It felt like a 2 way conversation where they want to understand your thought process. It's very relaxed. Focus your stories... -

Interviewed for experienced FO. Friendly & and proactive HR throughout. Worked with HR rep for about a year as I approached military retirement to line up availability and update currencies. Horizon was my #1 choice due to being Alaska Group (love the company) and basing in Anchorage is more likely. 1. The Gouge - Interview questions stayed in line with the HR questions on this site. No technicals, but it was for exp FO. Be ready with stories to answers those, I donâ??t think one word... -

Pretty much like what everyone else said. Interviewed 4 others that day. Pretty relaxed interview, 1 HR and 1 base chief. The questions come from a printed form they have, and they take notes while you're responding. Probably 6 or so questions all TMAT. Some were: a time you stood up for someone else, made a safety stop, made a decision that was not popular, provided great customer... -

Everyone was super friendly, stayed at the aloft hotel night prior. Walked over to the Alaska HQ for the interview in the morning, met recruiters and rest of the interviewers. We did a group PowerPoint going over the company, then one by one did our interviews. If you passed they would let you know after they would debrief, if passed you would go get your background check and drug test. Then afterwards you would fly back home. Great... -

Gouge on this site was very accurate. First was phone interview where they just wanted to see if you'd be a good fit. Scheduled an interview a couple weeks later. 9 am interview at Alaska Hub, was a 2 block walk from hotel. There were 4 of us in the group. Taken upstairs and given 30 minutes presentation on Experienced First Officer position and Horizon. Then taken to lobby and one by one brought into interview room with 1 pilot and 1 HR rep, order was based on return flights. Each interview... -

It was a good interview and laid back. I was asked to tell them about my self. A little chat about my flying experience and how I like my job/current employer. Tmaat questions followed. A challenge tmaat. A time I made a difference tmaat. A time I did something unpopular but for the right reason. A time I was creative to to solve a problem. They followed up with admin type questions and asked about check ride failure. Overall a good...
