I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2013
Interview
I applied for the flight attendant position online and received an email about 1-2 weeks later with a few questions. They were just basic screening questions like:
- Why do you want to be a flight attendant with Alaska Airlines?
- If hired, would you be able to relocate to any of their bases?
- Can you attend a hiring event on ___ date?
- Phone number and best time to call for a phone interview?
The next day I received a call for my phone interview and the gal interviewing me asked a few screening questions again:
- Do you have total flexibility to relocate?
- You have to pass a criminal background check and drug test, will there be any problems for you?
Then she asked where I had worked over the past two years and why I had left, had I ever been fired from a job in the past, etc.
Next she asked a few actual interview questions:
- So why do you want to work for Alaska Airlines as a flight attendant?
- Give me an example of a time when you provided extraordinary customer service.
After my answers, she asked if there was anything else I would like them to know and then said they would be in touch if they "still had room at the hiring event."

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.
