This is correct. It's 36 numbers away from being 3 years, 3 months. The current rate of closure is about 7-8 per month.

Are the pay rates, fleet size, and # of pilots posted under the Airline Profiles accurate/current?

Horizon Air | AirlinePilotCentral.com

Thanks in advance.

The fleet size listed in the "hiring" section is correct (we have another aircraft hitting the line in the next couple of weeks), but I believe our current pilot group is somewhere around 630 people.

The pay scales are pretty much correct, although some years pay about 50-70 cents more per hour than APC indicates.

If you've read through the last couple pages of this thread, you're probably aware that the upgrade time listed on APC is also off by a couple of years as well.

Thank you.

Any bets on how long a new hire that was hired today should plan until they'd be able to call ANC their base? I've read through this thread, and was somewhat surprised to learn its a relatively senior/stable base for an FO.

The most recent seniority list shows the two most junior Anchorage FO's as being hired in May and October of '14, so it might take a few bids after training to get ANC.

Over the last few months, it looks like most of the new hires have been going to PDX, GEG or BOI, with a few going to MFR, and the last SEA pilot looks to have been hired in August of '14.

Hello all,

Sorry if this has been answered before, but for how far in the future can you request a class date? That is, if you are interviewed and hired on March 15th, could you request a class date in August?
