When to appy
How many hours prior to reaching 1500 is a good time to apply at Horizon? I currently meet all the mins except total time, which is at 1300. It will take me about 4 months to build the remaining 200 hours. I assume now is too soon to apply, but maybe not?
Will Horizon take people at 1450 or 1475, or do they require 1500 prior to training?

They told me I could start training with 1470 hours because the sim will get you to 1500.
My hours are well past 1500 now though and I start training in January.

I started in June. In ground school they ask you which base you want for IOE. Bidding for your actual base will be done probably just after your sim checkride. I did my checkride end of August and was able to bid in September for my October base. IOE continued into October so that didn’t matter (thankfully, because I got Medford when I was still PDX based). I then successfully bid and was awarded PDX in November.
