Also remember that holding a line at SKW making 22/hr you'll make more than sitting reserve at Horizon, which you will do for almost a year (35 day bid period for guarantee lowers your yearly income quite a bit ($29 x 75 = x 10.43 bid periods per year = $22,683). Plus, sitting reserve doesn't put to many hours in your log book. At SKW you might sit reserve for 2 months after that expect to put 80+ block per month in your book with around $27-$30K in income your first year and around $45K your second.
BTW, XJT has LAX & ONT as well.
Your wrong! At horizon it is a 35 day bid but min guarantee for a reserve line holder is 86.00 Hours (92.00 for line holder) therefore 29.00 X 86 = 2494. So Horizon is the highest paying, you are right about spending a year on reserve though. Horizon is hireing the website is wrong just they wont be doing alot! So apply if you want.
