Horizon hiring/interviews
#21
Losing an average of 3 FOs per week because they are getting hired away. Half of those have been going to AS. Most recent class all got first choice base assignments, including 4 to PDX.
I was on the fence for applying here even though I live in PDX. Things are apparently moving at a completely different pace now than before. If QX is a place you even think you want to be, I'd throw my stuff in now. Never hurts to come look for yourself.

I don't know if this was stated earlier but they have upped the hiring to 16 per 2 weeks. With upgrades in every class. By the end of April the most junior CA will be a 4/2004 hire. Yes!!!! 10 years. The May class will put it at a early 2005 hire.

This. I've been saying it since I was hired, but everyone just rolls their eyes and moves on. Upgrade time is a snapshot of current performance, not a metric of future performance. With a company as small as QX, it doesn't take much to get a few years of upgrades done.

First of all guarantee days off is thirteen every thirty five not fifteen. Second, the only way a April 2004 upgrades by May is if 43 fo's don't take the upgrade. You guys have been spiking your kool aide. Just because almost no one was hired between 9/11 and 2004 doesn't mean the floodgates have opened. Unless a miracle occurs the upgrades will stay around 9 years until we've had 150+ people upgrade or leave.
Also, at the current rate, it will take about one year for 150 people to leave.

A lot of people passed the upgrade to avoid ANC. An ACP came into GS and said the most junior persons name who is upgrading in April and that person is a 4/2004 hire. But I guess hearing that and passing it on means that I drink the Koolaid. We will see when the training plan is updated. Now let's change the subject to the great schedules next bid.
