Well, CPZ will still be somewhat in limbo until the delta renewal does or does not happen, but it’s difficult to tell exactly WHAT is going on at Horizon, even for friends if mine who fly for Horizon.
Worst that’s going to happen though for guys like you who have barely ante’d up is that you are going to cash out with an ATP, a type rating, and 4-5 hundred hours of TSIC to give you a running head start at Horizon or Skywest.
Considering what it cost you to accumulate your current ratings and 13 hrs of ME, actually getting PAID while you accumulate a rating and 500 hrs of turbine ME ought to be a heck of a good deal.
So good luck, hope you get the call, and welcome aboard.
And should you decide to go Horizon instead, try to avoid the Q or at least read in the Horizon threads the issues with staffing an airframe that is being phased out. Either way, good luck.
