POSTING INFORMATION

Position closes at midnight on Thurs. Sept. 29th

This is a great opportunity if you want to live in the Pacific NW and would be happy finishing your career as a Q400 CA.

QX F/Os currently spend a decade in the right seat before they upgrade.

They have a pretty good flow up to Alaska last I heard. I still consider horizon the best regional to work for. Their pilots whine a lot less than any other regional pilots. Hence they have the least amount of threads on apc. When Alaska starts hiring I'm sure the upgrades will shorten significantly.

That being said...isn't QX the "best" regional to get stuck in the right seat at?

(Grammar might be a bit off since....well....it's late)

Kinda sorta. If you have 2000 SIC at QX, you might be lucky enough to get an interview. As I understand it 30% of the INTERVIEWS are reserved for QX pilots. It is not a flow-up by any stretch of the imagination.

I guess...if that's what your career goal is. Personally, mine was to be a Captain at a Major airline. To keep your options open, you need to get that 1000 TPIC as quickly as possible. I'm not saying QX is a bad place to work, its just easy to get bogged down there.

I definitely feel you there, it's just come time for me to get my feelers out there again.

Definitely thanks to the OP.

Thanks, I just finished the app. Took a long time, but I finished it.

I am attempting to fill out the app and keep getting "You must answer all questions in the Questionnaire. (29001,3) "

I have gone over the app 15 times and see no issues anyone else having the same issue ??

The pacific north west is a great place to live good luck to all!!

On one of the last questions there is a box to explain. Put in none or n/a and see if that works. I had the same problem.

Hey thanks !! got it Good luck !!
