I spent six years at QX, during that time I was able to witness the transformation of Horizon from an airline that most pilots wanted to go to, to a place that is a dead-end job. There will be some attrition to Alaska, WN, DAL, etc., but the top third of the seniority list is in it for the long haul. AAG BOD gets nervous when QX has more than 60 airplanes on the property. Horizon is not the same place that I was hired at seven years ago, that's why I left. Upgrade is at least going to be eleven years and maybe closer to twelve. That a long time to sit in the right seat of a turboprop. They will not get any jets in the foreseeable future. Glenn Johnson is on record saying that QX will not even bid on any flying requiring a jet.
