At the time I was there the company was short staffed so on my days off crew scheduling would call and ask if I would like to come in. It varied between 150% and 200% during the holidays. For simple math I'll round up my hourly rate at the time was $30/hr so it would have been $45-$60 an hour had I picked up additional flying. I didn't live in base so the pay that I quoted was just straight pay. I left before I could hold a line, but guys from my class were averaging about 6-9 months in PDX GEG and BOI that was almost a year ago though so I'm sure it has changed since then.

Default Interview timeline?

So what does it take to get a call back for an Interview with Horizon these days?

Delays due to no classes until the end of summer?

I'm honestly not sure on the time frame for getting a call. I waited about 2 weeks, but that was a very long time ago.

There are a lot of classes starting this summer. According to the training plan there was a class starting today, followed by 7-21, 8-4, 9-8, and 10-6.

In the last 2 years they've run classes as small as 2, and as large as 12.

Average is probably 7-9.

Just read somethin from good ole Gene's corner that mentioned more specific language for QX FOs jumping to AS. Did I read that correctly? Does that mean to read as a "flow" starting or just more specific about the process; attending job fairs, having 2 years on property, etc.

I've heard this from several people, and I honestly think people are reading into it more than what it actually says.

The way I understood it was "Alaska's hiring window will be open again some time. We'll let you know."
