Working conditions are Horizon is just as bad as most places. Dont be fooled by the high FO pay thats on APC. You are paid by seniority at Horizon not aircraft type and the seniority list at Horizon moves slower than molasses. Horizon has some good work rules but they also have one of the worst scheduling in the regional industry. 12 days off per 35 days while still earning min guarantee isnt my definition of good work rules. The management team at Horizon have their own unique interpretation of the CBA. You will be happy for about the first 4 months at Horizon, then you will come you your senses. You are not making more money than other regionals. You are getting less than guys at Mesa as an FO.. You spend 7 to 8 years on FO pay which tops out at about $48 per hour. Go elsewhere and be on 2nd or 3rd year pay and you make way more than being at Horizon. Pre 2008 if you went to Horizon you were setting yourself back 10 years. If you do it today you are looking at 13 to 15 years of wasting you career.

Skyhigh said this 2 years ago when i was starting at Horizon and i thought he was just being bitter. Now that i wasted 2 years of my life i see what he was saying. Here is what he said, "Horizon is a career killing airline." They guy couldnt be more right..
