But for someone that lives in ANC and wants to go to Horizon and potentially use the pathways program to get to Alaska it could be a good route?
Horizon, soon to be short on captains, currently bottlenecked with FO's, lots of pilots transition to Alaska and/or other majors when able?
He’s right on all the points except the ANC for a year thing. That’s old news. Like I said in a previous post, I’m still going through OE and just bid out of ANC and never set foot there. Same with a few in the class below me. Medford just opened up and for us lower 48ers, that’s way better. When it comes to the bottleneck though, I believe that’s pretty spot on. They’re trying to hire Prior Qualifying Time FOs now and with a 50k bonus might help some jump ship. Doesn’t mean we’ll be able to keep them though.
