Horizon's upgrade time is redic... Get used to that right seat... And again they've gotten Silver first year captain pay for one year.. Its not like theyve built an empire... To each their own... Just sayn if theyre here for PIC its still a shorter wait...

And the real city argument is getting old...

Airline management with any brains would realize that hub basing is much more efficient in a variety of ways. I'm sure it would attract more pilots and make the current pilots QOL much better.

Living in a terrible outstation based city was bad but the main motivator to leave was the commute. It's pretty sad that the average commute for me was 12 hours. Bring in the lack of commutable lines and a 14 day off line became 7.

You lose part of your soul on each leg of a 4 leg commute.

Wow and I'm struggling with 14 at home right now and 16 at work. I don't know how you guys do it. I have kids though.

Ive said it before... This place isnt for everybody... There are more people that like it the way it is than not... And if it made SOO much sense going to hub basing why isnt that way now?

Oh thats right, because the people who get paid more than any of us to make educated business decisions are idiots...

Voted this is half the reason why I left and I'm going to another carrier who has outstation basing, but not nearly in the same capacity as Silvers.
