PDP Timeframe
I’m a rotor guy transitioning to fixed. Got the $12.5k from
Horizon. I Just need my 25 multi and I’ll be at mins. I am a bit concerned with how long I’ll be waiting for training, on reserve and upgrading. Is it better that I just keep my
options open and potentially deal with commuting over the extended time and unpredictability of Horizons future? As much as I’ve heard good things about the culture there, I don’t want to severely delay my career anymore than I already have.

You won’t be “delaying” anything by coming here. You are correct to say horizon has a great culture because it does as well as a great training program. My class had a 100% pass rate as opposed to what I’m hearing over at oo (70%) oo also has a near 4 month sit after passing the sim ride before ioe while horizon has 2 weeks. I would keep my options open if I were you but just know horizon still has some pretty competitive time slots with regards to other regionals.

Ive looked into oo and Mesa. But I know training times and commuting would be something I’d have to deal with, especially with Mesa. I’ve also considered some 135 options. I think I’m just looking to starting building jet time and making some kind of money. I’ve done the helicopter life and just want something that has consistency and somewhat of a more predictable future. Just trying to figure out my best path to flying for pay and it not being another 6 years of instructing and bouncing around. Horizon feels good but when I ask a lot of pilots what upgrade times will be once I get there, it’s a big shoulder shrug.

Good to know the training is what it is. I’ve heard that from a few others as well. I guess I don’t really have that many options currently. In The last PDP conference call with Eric, he said if you were to have mins today, you could expect a training date in early 2023. Which is fine. I’m just looking at the long term timeline and where I can go that’ll keep me moving along and progressing. In the mean time I can just keep chasing ratings (CFI,CFII, MEI, SES).
