Horizon Questions
I am currently in the right seat building 121 time flying the CRJ. I ultimately would like to go to Horizon for the QOL and being from Portland. ...commuting is getting old!
My question is when should I send in my application and what is the hiring looking like in the relative future. My problem is I was hired at my current company with low time and don't meet Horizon's minimums yet. I'm sitting around 700hrs tt, 350hrs in the RJ. Should I wait untill I have 1000tt or do I have any chance of getting an interview with less without being a UND grad? I know I'm only a few months away from having the minimums anyway, but I am eager to fly back at home. I've also heard of guys applying with far more than the posted minimums and not even getting an interview. Also, I have someone to walk in my resume if that helps. Thanks for any advice!

And LAFF, the cost when I went through was around 12k. Your payments would vary depending on if you had any previous student loans, so I'm not much help with that.
