From what I have heard the guys on the Q400 are flying the most and upgrading the fastest. Obviously as they draw down the Q's at some point that will not be the case.
I'm just trying to decide if I go to Horizon is it worth waiting the 3 months for an ERJ class or get seniority and the extra 5k bonus and go to the Q. I'm Seattle based, why I'm looking at Horizon.
If you have a job and/or ways to make ends meet until the jet class I would wait. The Q seems to be losing lines at a fast pace in Seattle.
Once you upgrade no matter the airframe, reserve is just part of the game. it’s 2 up to 4 years as of now but keep in mind a lot of retirements industry wide start to happen next year and the real hose turns on in 2021
