"From maintenance technicians to contact center agents, flight attendants to pilots, customer service agents to software engineers, we will have jobs available for anyone who wants to be part of our team," the company said. "Most of the new jobs are based at our hubs in Seattle and Portland, as well as locations up and down the West Coast.
