Latest Horizon Gouge...
 

Anyone have a current interview gouge for Horizon. Most recent I can find is March of '15. Thanks.

Don will be along shortly to trip you.

Do you live under a rock? Why on earth would you consider coming here right now..?

Rubbish! I found April 2015

I have been...big rock...can you elaborate?

I'd go to Compass or Skywest if you want to be based in the PNW.

Vote is on the 29th. Earnings call is on the 21st.
Make no decisions until then.

Even if the TA passes, if you wan't to fly a jet don't come here until Feb 2017.

The Q400 seat lock is 4 years. You will never fly a jet here (nor will any of the current FOs) before that date.

Honestly you should just avoid Horizon altogether. We have a nice contract but we're about to give it up based on fear that we will get shut down if we don't. Alaska will see how weak the pilot group is and demand more concessions before finishing the jet order. It's never gonna stop.

Our contract will be pretty much the same as everyone else's now, except we fly old ****ty Q400s with ****ty 10 hour overnights 8+ legs a day coming soon.

If you want to fly jets in the PNW, go to Skywest or Compass. good luck.

It's not a bad place, if you want to fly in the PNW. Looks like upgrade time will drop to ~2 years or whoever has the required time. Probably stay right around that. Pretty decent pay and better work rules than other regionals in the game. So, if you play the regional game, not a bad place. Just do your research and know what you are getting into

Junior CA is a Nov-13 hire starting upgrade class in a few weeks, though there have been quite a number of upgrade deferrals since a lot of people don't want to commute to ANC. Hard to say where it will settle out, but there are only 57 on the seniority list hired between 2009-2013 and 116 hired in 2014 alone, so it'll take a while to get through 2014. Upgrades have been really sporadic here lately, but quite a few are planned before the summer.
