...The real question for me and I don't know why you haven't considered this: is what is going to happen with Alaska and Skywest, the guy at the interview said they intend to expand their agreement with Skywest, and this is at a Horizon interview. So it really remains to be seen where the smarter money is if you want to be 175 based in the Northwest. I can't get any feel for which way Alaska is going to go with that. Right now, it seems like the biggest obstacle facing Horizon is Pilot staffing. They are probably pretty close to tapped out on how much money they are going to offer to bring on First Officers. If they can't get pilots at this pay rate (40+10) they may turn the flying over to Skywest in the hopes that Skywest can get the airframes staffed.
First part, I sure the heck hope you weren't flying airplanes in those 8 years...because, whisky tango foxtrot, career regression is not a great life-plan.
Second part, key reason to stay away, management said the opposite regarding Skywest flying to get the recent letter of agreement passed.
You will not be happy with the post Lamar era.
