    Wait to talk to United/SWA/Virgin/Airways at OBAP Career fair 2 days ago: Less than 5 minutes
    Wait to talk to same airlines at OWAP Career fair(fltops.com) yesterday: 2+ hrs
    Both fairs were in the same hotel. Only difference is OBAP fair didnt have the foreign airlines

    So it says you have to have an ATP, but then it says the min age is 18.... You have to be 23 to get an ATP. I'm 22 and don't have an ATP. Do I qualify?

    He hates VA because they're non-union and they're direct competition to Alaska. If nothing else, Alaska should step up their game. Virgin has one of the best products out there, and their FA's are TOP NOTCH...how do I get a position on the FA hiring board...

    Gotcha. Oh well. Several guys from Alaska came over to VA. I believe Alaska furloughed in 2008, some guys came to VA, and they are Captains now. I've heard guys have turned down the callback to Alaska. It be hard to give up a Captain seat making six figures to go back to reserve FO at Alaska.

    I have been too busy to check out thee forum. Was in Utah picking up a truck I abandoned months ago, heard from my former boss they were hiring. Drove 12 hours yesterday and got my app in just before the window closed.

    Good luck to all that applied.

    . Yeah. . . .way too soon. :) I try not to even speculate these days. For me I just apply, or in this case re-apply, update often and try to forget about it

    For me its kind of like the lottery ticket I buy on occasion. You can't win if you don't play. I buy it put it in my wallet and dream about what I'd do with that many million dollars, it worth the dollar I invested. Unlike other major airlines though I know Alaska hires current and former freight pilots.
