I agree with this. As much as anyone with your experience would like to bypass the regionals, you will likely need to check the 121 box. Horizon is one of the few regionals actually taking military pilots right now. Many wont even look at military because they don't want to invest the money since they leave to the majors too quickly. There have been a lot of 6 month to a year military guys at Horizon that have been hired by Alaska recently (although the pool wait sounds like its around 8 months or more, so you will still be at Horizon for at least a year). Might be something worth considering in the mean time.
