I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines in Aug 2017
Interview
I did a cold application (no inside contact in my network). It was a pretty simple and typical online application. It took a while to get a response, probably because I hit it as soon as the position came available. It was then a phone screen and we realized it wasn't a good fit.

Question 1
It was the standard fair of based questions (tell us about yourself, tell about a time when you dealt with a conflict, what is an accomplishment that you are most proud of, etc.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines (Seattle, WA) in May 2015
Interview
The interview process was well planned and executed. I was recruited through a local 3rd party that put me in touch with the Alaska Airlines recruitment team. Once through the 3 phone screens (Recruiter from contracting company, Hiring Matter Expert from contracting company and Recruiter from Alaska Airlines) I was brought in for an interview loop that consisted of 4 different interviewers for about 5 hours. That evening, I received a "call back" to meet with the VP two days later and had my offer by the end of the day.
Overall, it was a very positive experience. Alaska Airlines has some very smart and passionate people and they are looking for more people to help them to continue to be Seattle's hometown airline.
