CWU is a good school. I graduated from there a year ago. There are some items that should be cleared up about the direct hire with Horizon. You are not guaranteed an interview. When Horizon tells CWU that they need pilots, the faculty contacts alumni to send in their resume. Then the CWU faculty pick who they find most would be a good fit. then those people interview with Horizon. There has not been a direct hire since 2000 but there will be one at the end of April/ early May. I sent them my resume and info yesterday. I am hoping that thing work out.
Horizons mins on their website say 100 multi/ 1000 total time. What they are hiring is much more. A friend iterviewed with them last week, he had the lowest expirience. He flys freight out of Boeing field and said that everyone else was furloughed from an airline.
I have friends that instruct a Midstate aviation and they are good guys but keep your eyes open. I have been instructing at a flight school around Seattle for the last year and i am going to pass up 1,100 hours this coming up week and more inportant I have a guy that i flywitht that has a twin and i have more than 165 hours of twim time. I gues I am saying there is life other than Midstate after you graduate.
If you have anymore questions let me know if you need anything. Be sure to do an internship with Alaska or Horizon or SkyWest. Good luck.
