I hope they resume hiring soon for all the ones being furloughed and I would like to get back to the west coast. I commute coast to coast to fly the Q400 out of EWR. I'm ready for SEA or PDX. Good luck to you guys

The number of furloughs has already been reduced once already. . .from around 90 to around 70. RJ's will probably stick around longer than they anticipated. Junior Captains are being reduced into RJ FO seats. Mismanagement says Q400 reliability is going up, although we still have our bad days. Q200's will be gone by end of October.
Oh yeah. . .no more free starbuck's coffee for employees.
Besides all of that. . .no news. Hope I didn't repeat to much of what the others had to say. . .I didn't read the thread.

You slide left, slide right and after 9 years you are pretty much in the same spot where you started. This is how your seniority will move at this place

Anyone know if there are any former retired Horizon Pilots who have been re-hired?
I was forced to retire from Horizon as a 17 year captain before the new age 65 rule came into effect. I submitted a pilot application but haven’t heard from anyone yet.

In their exit interviews they are known for saying dont burn any bridges. What bridge! If you leave there is now bridge back...You are better of working at Menards or Home Depot. Enjoy the rest of your life. Stay away from Horizon's stress inducing management team.
