I applied online. I interviewed at Alaska Airlines (Seattle, WA) in May 2019
Interview
Rough and lengthy. Not as situational as they claim. As an older candidate we have more life experience and I felt they wanted a robot. There is a time and place for a manual, but you can’t always see the situation as it is happening. Hindsight is 20/20
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Would you follow your gut or a manual in an emergency
In person at Alaska Airlines office.

It was very friendly and fun experience. Smile and interact other people

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.
