Nobody cares, 121 time is 121 time.

As for time to hold Portland it looks like maybe 6 months. I was hired in September, and looks like I might hold PDX in March.

I recommend that you stay in the E-175, with that being said, I recommend that you fly one at Skywest. The Q400 is a hot mess in which you work way too hard for way too little money. The E-175 by comparison is very easy to fly and for the most part has a much more pleasant route structure making for a much more pleasant day of flying. The question is, fly the 175 at Horizon when you can fly the same equipment at Skywest where the fleet is actually growing, there is a far superior route structure to operate on, and the basing options are pretty much the same as Horizon and the best part? YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORK AT HORIZON! Don't ruin your career, go to Skywest.

Must be having a tough time filling classes (and retaining) with that $7500 bonus, average pay at best slipping to below industry average (1% raises LULZ ), double occupancy rooming during groundschool and sim, sending west coast hopefuls to the midwest/ATL (but selling the west coast QoL during the interview) with zero commuter policy, oh and lower pay than Horizon.

Seriously, leave.

Appreciate the viewpoint...I actually interviewed with Skywest as well...and there was a good deal of hand wringing over the decision. The guarantee of a west coast base (have friends and family all over the PNW) helped horizon edge out in front. I also felt like the company was a better fit for me throughout both interview processes and while socializing with the other applicants.

The q was a lot of fun to fly, u can fly twin jets for 30 years but a turboprop with as much balls as that is rare. You learn a lot flying low and have to work for those greasers!

Don't be short sighted either. You're going to want to upgrade and it's guaranteed PDX/sea here versus Detroit or Chicago at Skywest

True statement.

I love your username. Haha. I rate your troll 8/10, would read your material again!

I was about to comment as well, 10/10 username
