As far as I'm concerned Horizon is a great place to work. We fly in a beautiful part of the country, and have some very wild approaches. If you want to fly a jet go somewhere else. We have 20 and it appears that's all we are going to have for a while. However, the Q400 is as state-of-the-art as it gets when it comes to aircraft. Horizon has always and will continue to have some of the best and most modern equipment out there. We have Heads-up guidance systems on all aircraft, giving us CAT III capability (hand flying to 50' minimums with 600 RVR....what a rush!)the only regional to have that capability, the Q400's and CRJ's will be RNP capable in the near future, electronic flight bags are on the way with XM link to the ground for any info we could possibly need.

The pay is good and will continue to be so, even after our next contract. We fly many of our own routes under our own name. We are profitable and have been the last three years. Did I mention no pay cut?

What else would you like to know. Oh...yes the upgrade time is currently six years, however we didn't hire for two years to it will eventually drop overnight by two years. (Today's performance is not an indication of tomorrows).

Any other questions?
