I interviewed at Alaska Airlines (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2023
Interview
Application on line. Invited to answer on line questionaire. Once this was completed, a few days later I was invited to participate in the on-line interview. It was a video interview process. One week later I was invited to participate in the in person, all day event. This consisted of a persona one in one interview, group interview, break out session and a final one on one interview.
I made it through the group interview and then, I was waiting for my final interview…my name was called; and then - thinking I was going to the final interview, I was thanked and asked to re-apply in 6 months.
Needless to say I was surprised - I honestly thought I nailed the group interview….but I will be applying again.

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.
