There's a few threads on Horizon going, but I'm going to shoot this out here on this one. Any rumors on how the negotiaions are going, or will be going? I'm curious to see how the pay comes out, I'm expecting it to drop. I'd really like to see the upgrade times there get cut in half, but to do that the pay might have to do the same. Anyway, if anyone has heard anything please share.

Ok, thanks for that info. I fly on Horizon quit a bit and everyone, and I mean everyone, seems real happy there. Always smiling. I love the places they fly as well. I don't want to wait 6 or 7 years for an upgrade though, and can't bring myself to work for less. I know there's lifers there. My good buddy's uncle is one. They just won't leave will they. Thanks

QX upgrade time
I'll be curious to see what happens to the upgrade times. Latest news is QX agreed to sublease 16 Q200's to Commutair starting next year. Word is Commutair would like ALL the Q200's Horizon has. That's a heck of a lot more than the original plans to retire only 9 baby dash's next year. Standby to standby on the upgrade time, I'd say QX management has some issues to look at.
As for the contract negotiations, I'd say they're going to REAL ugly before it's all said and done, but I don't think the pay will change. Might see (I know this is a LOOOONG stretch) some 90 seat RJ's for the same pay as the 70 seaters. Who knows, it's aviation - the only constant thing is change
