First of all, nothing wrong with an interview, you can weed away some bad apples, and asshead future captains Nobody wants to fly a 4 day trip with. Flying part is easy. Interviews are great. Personality test even better, Riddle guys hate those.
Horizon-Alaska is a true FLOW, and a quick one now at that. Not just a guaranteed interview. Horizon’s pilot group is much smaller than Envoys, with perhaps an equal number of lifers. Flow percentage goes to Horizon as the winner.
Again, Alaska CEO Tilden is finally opening the doors to Horizon, a new hire at Horizon will flow much quicker than a new hire at Envoy.
Funny, it’s only listed as an interview program on their website, not a guaranteed flow through, and gives no additional information about this program.
So what happens to the folks that fail the Alaska interview?
Everyone likes to use the term flow to bait applicants to coming on property but once again, the only regionals with no-interview flow throughs are the American Airlines Wholly Owned Regionals.
