Horizon hiring/interviews

Shared rooms with two beds. Cozy would be a good description. UNLESS your the odd man out If there happens to be an odd number of men then one gets a room to himself. MAYBE you are the only girl in class you then also have your own room. Congrats on the new job. Personally its been a great company for me, learning a lot, got a line after two bids. Things are always changing.

I was hired 3 years ago, and was number 600 on the list. The total number was 603. For about the last year and a half, our training department has been running about as fast as they can. FlightSafety in Seattle cannot provide all of the simulator hours we are trying to buy. I've been told recently that some other cities were being considered for sim training. Even with all of this training going on, at the end of November the total count of pilots was 604. In 3 years, we'd added a single pilot. The current list shows 137 pilots hired in 2014. I doubt attrition is going to slow down, and if they're planning on upgrading anyone at all then they'll need more than 137 pilots. The last rumor I heard was 250 training cycles, with 90 of them being upgrades. That would end up with 160 new hires, so it would make the numbers work out about right.
There have been a trickle. I haven't known any of the recent ones personally, although I talked to one on the bus to the parking lot a couple of weeks back.

I know 2 personally. One was a 2007 hire, the other 2008. Both did work in the puzzle palace (SPT/FMS instructor and Interviews), and attended job fairs.
