Curious, given how precarious Horizon is why pilots are applying....word is they lost their arbitration...pay cuts for all...puts them at skywest etc...for pay and benefits.....their prospects seem about as bright as comair.....both terrific airlines in their day but both headed for extinction/buyout....

Interviews for the Dec 1 class will most likely be end of this month. Im guessing the last week of Oct but maybe sooner... Sorry to hear they already emailed a "no thanks" letter out....
Hoping to get a call/email about an interview sometime soon. Next week the latest Im guessing.
Post back if you have heard anything, other hopeful QX pilots, please.

Edit: one last note, QX was once a great company that has pretty seriously gone down the toilet. Morale is horrible there. That said, it's still a good place to go if you a) have to live in the Pacific Northwest b) can't go to Alaska c) don't mind retiring at a regional airline. It doesn't sound like all three criteria apply to you, thus my advice above.
