That being said WHY any pilot would go to Horizon now with this type of environment doesn’t understand how bad management can make the QOL for pilots.

The 200's are OO's own airplanes that they use when the 700's break because of mtx reliability issues. (Or too many dead Q400's.)

What's the chances Alaska Airlines is going to get a taste of this good stuff, when their hiring pool is drying up?
Perhaps they will offer $20K (pre-employment) to new hires because they're major airline pilots. I wonder how they would react???
