That’s accurate for my 6/11 class.

I have what may be an odd question. I am a dash pilot flying ISR. Yes I know I make good money out here in the desert, but am starting to get burned out. With that being said, I live about 2 hours west of Seattle, and have a dash type, so Horizon seems like an obvious choice if I decide to switch it up. So to the question..... what would the differences in training be, if any at all? Thanks for any help.

03/05 - ATP/CTP
10/2 (tomorrow) Finish Consolidation.
I'll call that 7 months. There were outrageous, intolerable and unnecessary training delays. While the new footprint sounds good...I'm skeptical.

Anyway, that's MY story.

I am enjoying flying on the line with really good people on an airplane that is roomy and a remarkable performer. And, though I've screwed up my bidding a little bit, I am holding a line.

You would go through the exact same training as someone who had never flown a Dash 8. Your biggest challenge would be staying awake in class. Seriously, the big items would be learning flows, the Flight Operations Manual and the FMS if you were flying -100s in the Middle East. For all other models, the differences are not a big deal other than things happening 100 mph faster when you aren't on final approach. As a side note, I have seen a lot of guys go directly from 1900s and Dash 8s in the contract world to both the majors and cargo airlines.

Where does Horizon do indoc and sims? Seattle? I suspect the sims locations varies especially with the E-175 sim shortage nationwide. Living locally to SEA it would be nice to stay at home during training.
