It's been proven that just throwing money at the problem isn't going to fix it.
Piedmont offers a flow, bonus money and rotor to fixed wing programs. If Horizon does any two of those, or all three, they'll be fine.
There are lots of Army helicopter pilots leaving to go to the airlines. Why would I choose Horizon when their bonus isn't as good, they won't pay for any fixed wing transition training, and don't have a flow? Simple choice not to go to them.
Despite the bad things I read about them, I would seriously consider them if they at least paid more bonus money and had their own rotor to fixed program. Even without flow.
