Which airline should I take, assuming I’m offered a job at SkyWest also?
Qx pilot here. Horizon is OK, training is usually backed up several months on the jet so if you want to start right away you’ll probably want the Q. That being said, jet drivers are getting a couple hundred more hours a year than Q guys.
I hear Skywest is getting 11 more 175s in SEA so more junior guys are getting it (2.5 years to hold it as a captain from what I heard). No idea how many hours these guys are getting.
Air group is giving away more of our flying to Skywest.
