Interview
Recently had a phone interview that resulted in scheduling an in-person interview. Interview was very brief. Questions were to describe an example of when you went above what was expected for customer service, why do you want to be a flight attendant with Alaska Airlines, and what have you done to improve your professional image (ie CPR certification course or something that wasn't expected of you but you did in order to improve yourself). Also asked about past 10 years of work history and why you left/are wanting to leave your most recent/current job. Lasted about 15 minutes and at the end they said they would like to schedule an in-person interview which I have yet to attend.

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.
