Training Class Dates
I was offered a conditional offer back in February 2020. Obviously because of Covid, class dates came to a halt. I just heard this morning from Horizon and received a survey to complete with update hours and if I was interested in a class date in Q1 of 2021. So I guess that is good news. However, signing bonuses are now off the table.

The jet pilots are staying busy, and we've just started service to Alaska out of Seattle on the E175. Do you plan to take the class date if the company makes you an offer?

Everything these days seems like a gamble or a risk, but yes, seriously considering a Q1 class date, if offered. Deciding what's best for the family and my career.
