Any time between the oral and sim or do you run straight through it?

The only growth that's been announced is that we're taking delivery of one new airplane some time this year, so the hiring is almost entirely covering for attrition.

Horizon still has a few options with Bombardier, but there's a good chance those options would just be used to replace some of our older airplanes, which are coming up on the end of their leases and will be approaching timing out starting in a couple of years.

In my case, there was a four day gap between the oral and sim, but I assume that may vary somewhat depending on sim availability.

They can start with N435QX and never put that hideous paint on another airplane.

Just a bit

To be fair, they could put a WSU pain job on that plane and I would still hate it.

401 is way worse. You can move the flight controls at least 2 inches in any direction without much happening. And the interior is disgusting. And so is the exterior.
