Are you from Seattle?
Have you tried working at Horizon?

They do not only hire youngsters. Find a way to stand out above people of similar qualifications.
Why are they pathetic? I know some people that work there in dispatch, and they started when they were young, but they did have some experience as dispatchers.

They aren't, he is using his age as an excuse for why he isn't getting hired
I've noticed certain people claiming they can't get on a major no matter how many times they apply

IROP Food tester. You're welcome.
A quick gander at your posting history seems to imply that you wondered at one point in the last few months whether Allegiant would hire you with no dispatch experience/only airline ops experience. Do you have any dispatch experience? If not, are you an Alaska internal? If no to both, are they really pathetic for not hiring someone who is not an internal and has zero experience in the position for which you are applying? They are a major after all.
I’m 28 if that’s the case how much younger do they want? Sounds like horizon is the only place to go if you want more than a 50/50

Just got word that interviews are finishing today and offers should go out by the end of the week.
Good luck.

Will Alaska relocate ops from HNL to SEA?

I was wondering the same thing, and I think that is probably a much more complex problem than some of the other “problems” folks have highlighted in other areas/workgroups/etc

Their track record says it’s only a matter of time before they move legacy HAL ops to SEA. Assuming the acquisition goes through, of course.

If they moved ops from HI to WA I’d hope they’d at least offer relocation bonuses. That being said though, what percentage of those that work at HAL would actually leave for AS vs just taking a parachute / early retirement?
I’d foresee the need for a class larger than what they normally do (less than 5 people for a once annual class) if/when that goes through. That being said, given the current DOJ’s attitude towards mergers; I’d hold my breath. My money is on Southwest scooping up Sun Country in the near future.

I honestly think it says something about the culture and environment that AS only hires a few dispatchers a year.
it means they're not losing people...people want to work there.

Oh 100%. I’ve never met a dispatcher from AS that didn’t absolutely love it. They’re also a smaller operation compared to other carriers so it’s more tight knit.

I know I would love to be there, but it seems pretty difficult to get an interview.

Historically it seems like they always pull from either Horizon (which makes sense) or Skywest. It seems like they won’t even look at a resume without at least a few years of experience.
