so I'm one of the students in this guy's (JC) class. At first i appreciated the perspective but now his class is basically a rant about the industry two times a week.. a lot of the stuff he says is obviously wrong/biased. Insane that we're paying to hear him talk about rumors and his bitter time at depressjet.. no idea how he got hired to teach, it's embarrassing.

I'm also a student in this guys class. Although his rants sometimes seem out of place for a university-level lecture, I will give him credit that he is bringing up issues that I dont think many of my classmates have thought about, myself included. They see a recruiter with a CJO for a shiny jet (or turboprop) and immediately jump at the chance without doing as much research as they should.
I find it funny that it was ok for HIM to fly for a regional for $20/hour or less, but anyone who does it now for $40 or more per hour is just part of the problem. The guy is obviously jaded and has no business giving advice to prospective pilots when his opinion is obviously skewed in one direction.

We need to hire 30 pilots per month just to avoid parking airplanes. Apparently since the lawsuit and strike threat was issued, applications have dropped from 10 per day to 1, if that. I think the writing is on the wall for this place, good luck everyone.

Holy crap I thought this was a joke but its not, its on Linkin right now and was posted 4 days ago?
Yep Horizon is desperate as Smackey says good luck to you all, hate to see it but the management of Alaska must want this.
I’m not going to address the smack talk about me. I’ll explain to my class why I say the things I do. Education is the key to all the issues. I have only spoke the truth no “false news” here. This is supported by the fact the Horizon pilot group has a lawsuit.

Re:Horizon
The fact that a Union whether it is ALPA or IBT is suing the company for extra pay is outrageous. APLA and IBT failed to give a crap about new hire pay for a long time. Now that it is affecting hiring and the company is trying to lure pilots with a bonus that many other Regionals are offering says one thing. Your failure and short-sightedness are apparent and just because you do not have control over it and decide to sue the company makes the union look stupid!!! I understand CBA's and there is nothing in the CBA that says you can not offer additional compensation. Is the bonus fair to other pilots, the answer is no. Pilots have ask not only is this contract good for me but ask is it also good for the profession as a whole. For the record, I for not work for Horizon and I wish everyone there the best of luck,
