Horizon Air Hiring any time soon?
I have pretty much established the conclusion I can't go to a major from a 135 job flying the mighty metro.
I would like to move to a Horizon base, and possibly have a shot at Alaskan.
Any rumors out there when they might open an application window?
Thanks
Props

Last I heard was they may be opening the app window in September for October classes. Management is expecting a large amount of attrition in 2012. Also, use caution when choosing Horizon. For domicile reasons I can understand that but you may want to look at other options too. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. A friendly piece of advice, it's Alaska not Alaskan. Best of luck with whatever you choose.

I live in the Northwest and would prefer to stay in the area so I've had my eyes on Horizon too but since they just gave their CRJs and a bunch of their routes to skywest shouldn't they have more pilots than planes right now? Or did they order more Q400s? Also, if our ultimate goal is to get to a major do you think it would be a better idea to go to a place like skywest and built some jet time on a CJ as apposed to nothing but prop time at Horizon?

I can guarantee you that if you get the name of the airline you want to work for right, your chances of getting hired there will increase by a factor of 100 at a minimum.
