I second that statement.
Quote: I was a 17 year captain at Horizon and tried many times to go to Alaska.

It seams that if you are a pilot at Horizon but do not have a very close or relative at Alaska, your chances are nil.
Give me a class list and some time and I can sleuth out the connection that got most every new hire his/her job at Alaska. Almost every time there is a family, military buddy or political connection of some kind.

During my time at Horizon Air 4 pilots were hires at Alaska from Horizon Air and 80 were hired from Skywest.
