there's talk that down in MFR people are only reserve for a bid period or two at horizon, so that's not too bad.

I've found that no matter even the most positive guys in this career tire of sitting in the right seat of a regional. Being grossly underpaid (in respects to the entire airline industry) for relatively the same job, will wear on anyone. Even the best people I know become bitter.

That's what a lot of pilots say when hired, but after several extra years of rotting in the right seat, you'll change your tune.

It's hard to think of how I will react after being an FO for say 8 years or 10 years. 10 years ago I had given up my hope of being a pilot (thanks to my then terrible knowledge of how flying works in the USA)

I could be very wrong with the numbers but I heard horizon was losing twenty a month, if Skyw is losing the same amount, wouldn't horizon be more attractive with a smaller pilot group?
Time to a line can change in the blink of an eye from music stop to start and back again.

I would venture to say, without any evidence, that it's senior FOs leaving. which is good in a way but doesn't mean upgrade times will get better. That said, I still think Horizon might be a better fit for me.

theoretically, sure that would make horizon more attractive but you have to think of where the attrition is. Is it senior FOs? great that'll get you up the FO ladder, is it senior CAs? that would be ideal since the senior CAs at horizon are what keep upgrade times insanely long (and I don't blame them, not here to criticize, I think everyone should do what is best for their situation). I have talked to one fella who can point out 7 people leaving in one week alone, so that can be a great thing!

Anyone else have any updates on the 100 vs. 50 Multi? Looks like on their website they are updated with the R-ATP mins and 50 Multi. I have heard they interview at 50 but you can't start training until 100. I know 100 has been a long time minimum for them but it just seems like it would be a big gap between interview and training for a CFI or MEI to get 50 multi.
Thanks!
Thanks!

looks like there's a new bird on the line
(almost, right?)
I'm curious- who thinks OO will be direct hiring in to E175? how long do you think it'll take? I say next spring?

It will be sometime before they hire directly into the 175.
