I doubt Horizon pay will remain that high for much longer. 12 year + Alaska captains are making 154/hr flying anywhere from 140 to 172 seats and a Horizon RJ guy is making 115/hr flying 74 seats. Economy of scale bro, big brother will come for you. I have a lot of respect for Horizon and their pilots, but you must realize, the Horizon pay will not remain that high.
Alaska will hire 43 on this current bid with around the same more on the next bid in Jan. I would imagine 40 more this fall. It is still a good job and we will be around for some time.
