What annoys me is that it says Horizon 1 yr FO’s make 27K+ BUT those numbers are based on 12 bid periods per year & 30/31 day months. Horizon does 35 day bid periods with works out to be 10.4 bid periods per year. So, the numbers are still higher than everyone else but not as much as it makes it out to be. Add to it 2-3 years of reserve at Horizon and I guarantee you'll make more at XJT, SKW, E9 or RAH. Especially seeing that you can hold a line which gives you about 10-20 more hours (per month) of pay and a better QOL within your first year; as well as being able to upgrade in about 2-3 years. At Horizon they’ll be close to coming off reserve when I upgrade and I’ll be applying and probably flying for a Major by the time they upgrade to CA in yr 6 or 7. Yes, a 35 day bid period means more days off for the same pay; BUT look at the big picture, FO reserve for 2-3 years, CA upgrade in 6+ and then sit CA reserve for 3+? Not worth it!
