This whole situation broadly reads like what happened when Republic began to fall apart. One big difference being that Republic is publicly traded with upset shareholders that might have influenced internal changes. There probably isn't an external pressure like that with Horizon, correct?
I think it's safe to say that most prospective pilots these days at least lurk this forum before they choose who they'll work for. If you're seeing an airline that has a nearly 100 page thread solely dedicated about how poorly they've been treating their pilots and openly plan to continue doing so, you're looking at airline that's running on borrowed time and they don't even know it yet.
