I believe the air group was wreckless in disassembling the last contract. It's painful to watch them try to put everything back together again with these shiny jets and silly bonuses.
It's not a hard fix at all. You give the pilots 4 hours min day, 75 hours guarantee. Let reserves pick up flying on their days off. 150% for all open time. Better commuter clause. Pay scales startinng at $40 an hour and going up from there. Then you do a signing bonus to get new hires over $60,000 first ear pay. It's not hard, every other [successful] regional already did it.

100% true. I'd be there if Horizon actually treated pilots this way.

**NEWS FLASH***

Horizon CEO Dave Campbell announced today that in conjunction with vendors at SeaTac, he has secured a way to dramatically boost pilot pay under the “Work while U Wait” program. CEO Campbell acknowledged that for decades Horizon has had their flight crews wait 2-6hrs many evenings per week between their turns for the day and their last leg out of Seattle. “During this time crews earn $1.80/hr under per diem, while lounging around the airport, and often complaining that they are grossly underutilized.” Says Campbell.

Well not anymore…Campbell has secured temp employment at SeaTac Qdoba at $10/hr for any pilot. Payroll will be seamless, and they don’t need to take off their uniform, just throw on an apron. “Will someone please tell me where in the world you can make 500% more money per hour?” says Campbell. “We never expected our pilots to live off our wages, NEVER, and this opportunity gets them that much closer, plus they get a free burrito, and Horizon saves by not having to pay them per diem when they work at Qdoba!”

Qdoba co-worker, Cindy Snow, a recent GED grad and tenant at Tacoma Narcotics Recovery House says “it’s just so cool to be working with these pilots shoulder-to-shoulder, they’re just so smart with all their training about jets, and here they are working with burritos just like me.” First Officer Kool-Aid says, “I love flying for Alaska Airlines ‘proudly operated by Horizon Air’ and I love working with my co-workers for 5 legs for 4:40 of credit, and now I am making 500% more money than just sitting around in the crew room. Thanks Dave for your superb leadership in building a great future for all of us at Horizon, next time you’re in line at Qdoba I’m going to slip you an extra lump of guacamole!”

For real though if I could get a free burrito that would be a major QOL bump.

Default Smf commute

Hi guys and gals. I was wondering if any of you commute from Sac to Sea. Is this a difficult commute. As a newbie on reserve how many days off in a row can you schedule?
