I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines (Irvine, CA) in Aug 2015
Interview
Applied online and got an email back for a digital interview a few days later. The digital interview was a lot harder than I imagined. It is just a little awkward being recorded and not actually talking and interacting with someone. I received a phone call for an in person group interview a few days later. The interview is in a week, so I will update after!

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.
