You might want to consider an airline that has good work rules and a good upgrade time. Plus, I have no idea but it seems like Horizon is a turboprop friendly airline.

Sounds like someone has a case of "Shiny Jet Syndrome." This might be the most ignorant statement I have ever read. While you're blasting through the sky in your shiny 50 seat jet at minimum wage, Horizon seems to be the only airline that has figured out that you can't make money in those things.

Have you sat in a Dash-8? They are far roomier (up front and in the back) then any CRJ/ERJ and it's safe to say (at least for the time being) that Horizon prop-drivers are makin' more money then most flyin' jets.

Don't get caught up in the equipment you are flying. The focus should be on livable wages and good work rules. Turbine time is turbine time. It's this mentality that is one of the reasons we got into this mess in the first place.
