I applied online. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines (Seattle, WA) in May 2019
Interview
Rough and lengthy. Not as situational as they claim. As an older candidate we have more life experience and I felt they wanted a robot. There is a time and place for a manual, but you can’t always see the situation as it is happening. Hindsight is 20/20

I applied online. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2026
Interview
Two virtual interviews that included an AI interview, a personality questionnaire and a “test” of your ability to use resources provided to answer flight-related questions. After that you’re invited to an in-person interview.
The interview process is lengthy and in depth. They really dive deep. Overall, it was a great experience and ensured that they find the right fit. I did end up accepting and am awaiting training.
