Oh no! So when you say young…I'm inexperienced, that's for sure, but I'm 45, I guess that's too old for them, huh? I've interviewed at 2 other ones, still waiting to hear from the last one. Alaska would be perfect for me as far as commuting to my home, which is very close by. I'm with you on the expense part. I have spent SO much money on the travel and food for these interviews - even with them paying for the airfare! Thank you so much for your post and insight.
