I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines (Portland, OR) in Mar 2015
Interview
I first submitted my application. I was having a phone interview within a week. From there an in person interview was scheduled This was a group interview not one on one. Don't waste your money going too far for this interview. They had about 60 people show up and maybe hired 5. I couldn't tell you what they were looking for. I did everything I read to do, but didn't seem to matter. I really think it's just the luck of the draw

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.
