New work rules
I just read the new QuickTake that in Feb 2017 Horizon will be going to PBS bidding AND a 4 week bidding cycle which increases min guarantee to 70 hours for line holders? Can a current Horizon pilot comment on the union company stance on these changes? This seems like something the union would have negotiated and shouldn't be a surprise?

I just read in the USA Today, Horizon is going to ABQ. Nice overnight!

Our Missoula overnight used to be great downtown, but now they've got us in some white trash laden dump where you have to take a 5-10 minute van ride to get to the closest food source.

well, QX its telling this to the new applicants. this is true? can any one confirm this...
At this time we are hiring into the Q400. We will eventually be hiring directly into our new jets but at this time it is just the current Pilots transitioning over. We do anticipate this to change at some point this year but it is hard to pin point exactly when at this time. We have not had our first delivery of the ERJ yet. As far as preference into the ERJ, it is first come, first serve and not dependent on previous flying.
Although we don’t technically have “flow” with Alaska we have something better! It is a guaranteed interview with Alaska. All Horizon Pilots (who meet the minimum requirement) are guaranteed an interview with Alaska when they choose to exercise it. We recommend you are strategic and choose to do so when you have hours and are best prepared for the process. We anticipate having something like this with Virgin as well in the coming months.

That's funny. Even taking into account that there's almost certainly some BS content in what the other carriers advertising on this site are claiming, does Horizon actually believe that a low/average signing bonus plus an interview with a 73-only operator at or near the bottom of the industry pay structure is going to make them competitive?
