Man I have friends who I am close to from my class that still work there. The only way I could be making 100K while working at Horizon Air is if I won the lottery. I assume that you are one of those guys that throws everything in, per diem, tons of overtime, draft pay, hotel rooms and the quarter that you found in the company parking lot in order to come up with that amount. My unaltered an unashamed pay scale at QX places me at 56K had I stayed.
I am not blaming QX for anything. They did lie to me and treated all of us like 5 year olds. I endured the longest and most miserable 9 leg days of my life there. The worst decision I could make would be to have stayed. If the kind of life and working conditions QX offers is satisfactory for you then have at it.
QX fell far short of what I considered to be worth throwing a career away upon. In fact 100K is not even close to being enough to endure what they dish out at QX.
Enjoy,
