Why do you want to work there? Any reason in particular

Second that. My advice would be build your qualifications (notice I didn't just say time), get an interview, blow em away and get hired. Rinse and repeat until desired result is achieved. Works the same anywhere:D

PS
Don't go to Horizon to upgrade and get out. Go there for the flying, the west coast lifestyle, the pay, etc.

The reason I want to work there is I want to live in the Pacific Northwest. I am current 121 with 1400 hrs 500 of which are in turbine aircraft but still no offer for interview???? Does anyone know what the deal is there.

Exactly. It's funny to see the reactions of people when you say you want to work for Horizon. While a major is the ultimate goal for many (mine being the "other" SEA-based carrier), their are some that want to have a good time while working at a regional. When I say good I mean, living in a PNW, the equip. flown, people @ Horizon, QOL, and did I mention living in the PNW. This is probably the single biggest factor of all. While some may not understand, being in that region is like heaven on earth for a few of us. Of course the upgrade could be a little shorter, but enjoy the ride to the top. People get so flustered as to why someone would "waste" time at a place like Horizon building invaluable SIC time, when they can upgrade in 1.5 yrs on the jet at Skywest and be at Southwest, FedEx et al in record time. You think a "waste," I see it in a completely different perspective.

Rock on Horizon!
