I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines (Seattle, WA) in May 2024
Interview
I applied online, and a couple of weeks later I was invited to complete an online assessment. Then, I was invited to participate in the pre-recorded video interview process. There were 5-6 questions and I had up to three minutes to respond. My status on the website was "assessment process" until I received the invite to attend an in-person event at headquarters. The whole process took approx. two months.
They provided my flights to and from the the event and a voucher for hotel, but didn't cover the full cost of the hotel. The flight booking was easy and instructions were clear.
The day of the event, I arrived early and checked in. I was able to interact with other applicants and Alaska employees. We had a variety of Q&A opportunities. I was given a 1-on-1 interview with one of the recruiters, and a group interview session with five other candidates. I was informed I would not be continuing 4-5 hours into the day. Everyone was friendly and I enjoyed meeting with them.

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.
