My friend who got a CJO in December got an email in June advising of August start. In the interim he’d signed on with another outfit, gotten typed, and by May had upgraded so he’s logging TPIC on E145s.
He heard there was a lack of Horizon flying for new EJet FOs, plus he’d lose two months in training he would’ve earned another 150 hours TPIC staying in place. All to commute to SEA to sit reserve making 1/3 of what he is making. And even though his goal was Alaska or another major, Horizon raised the bar for its Pathways program, so he’s better off staying in place and building TPIC.
Made no sense to continue so he passed on the CJO with enough notice for them to offer the slot to someone else.
He said they were very nice and provided course materials in advance as well as a pilot
mentor.
