I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines (Seattle, WA) in Jun 2011
Interview
The interview was very average--- tell me what you have done in the past 10 years. Not many questions asked! I don't understand the point of going over what is already on the resume. The interview process was pleasant, but not necessarily useful in finding out more about the candidate. It's been 2 weeks since the interview -- They couldn't tell me when they will make a decision, but after 2 weeks i am assuming the job was offered to someone else.

Question 1
tell me about all your previous positions and why you left
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines (Portland, OR) in Oct 2017
Interview
Incredibly disorganized. Was asked to select a time slot, after selecting a time slot (email reply within 5 minutes), was asked to select a new time slot, replied within minutes, took 2 days to receive confirmation for the following day.
Arrived on site, front desk was staffed by a non-receptionist filling in for absent receptionist. She was very helpful in trying to reach any of the contacts I had (scheduler, recruiter, hiring manager), but nobody was answering their phones. Waited in the lobby hoping that someone would come looking for me, which they did right at the time my interview was scheduled. Very rushed interview. Withdrew from consideration for the position.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines (Renton, WA)
Interview
Pretty straightforward, phone screen then in-person at HQ. Questions were applicable to position, and I was able to meet many members of the company. I was assured I would hear back within a week, but after a couple weeks and a couple emails still nothing.

Question 1
Why doesn't Alaska Airlines try to compete directly with large Carriers?
