What, why would they be hiring for the 200? I would have thought that with those planes being phased out, they would have too many pilots for the 200 and would be training them on the 400. What changed?

Hey Senior Black listed,
My understanding is that there are a a fair amount of people leaving. I just talked to a friend that is leaving for another airline where he can upgrade in 6 months. He was also, upset cuz he was from Seattle and had to commute to PDX. Nice guy and I wish him the best.
70 people is just a ton for QX. I thought I was pretty lucky getting a spot in the last class with the low amount of hiring they are doing. The last class was a mid June class. Ok, hopefully it is 70 people I need the people below me.

I need them below me too!
70 people is a lot for Horizon, they are going to have a tough time finding 70. I guess they are just so short staffed on the 200 that they need to hire some people into it.

Oh and FL410 I found out that one of the people who made it to the sim with you is in the current Q400 class.

New minimums are 750 total and 50 multi

So 750/50 is official for all applicants, not just UND grads? I applied today online. They said that I don't meet current requirements. I have 960/370. Did that just happen today? I am a few months from my B.S. degree, could that be it?

I just went online and checked the job posting and it says 750/50. It applies to all applicants now. I don't think it has anything to do with you not having your degree since that is just a preference.

Are they running current 121 guys through the sim as well during the interview?

Jetspeed 10-15-2007 09:04 AM

Yes everyone goes through the sim

WhiteH2O 10-15-2007 10:01 AM

I just called Horizon and the lady I talked to (Karen) said that the 750/50 is for UND grads and their minimums are still 1000/100.
