Horizon Air Update...

[ReverseSensing]

I'm not sure I follow you. Are you saying the other 4 were captain interviews?

The rumor I heard (from a check airman, source of all credible rumors :nuts was 6 hired at AS from QX: 3 CAs and 3 FOs. Also heard 6 more (obviously CAs) going to SWA.

This constitutes massive attrition at Horizon.

Enjoying my 7-year internship! :beer:

 

[CutEmUp]

I understand now. For a second I thought you meant that Horizon was hiring street captains!!!!!!

Hey Cappy,

You should really change out that avatar for the Tinkerbell plane. It suits you better!

How are things treating you over there on the other side? Is it true what I hear, that they use yardsticks in their beatings?

Is it true what I hear, that they use yardsticks in their beatings?

No. Just five day trips.

No. Just five day trips.

Holy crap dude! That means at least 3 pairs of underware for you!

Glad to see that you're representing well over there young skywalker. How do the hotels compare to qx? Wait. Stop. I don't wanna know. Cheers!

I heard 3 out of the 7 Horizon pilots that interviewed in the last couple of weeks were FOs. One FO which I know for sure was hired. I think there are quite a few FOs that are close to 2000hrs. with Horizon are going to apply. 2000hrs. puts you about 3 years at Horizon with 3 more to go to upgrade.

What's it taking a QX FO to get hired by AS? Is it all sons & daughters of the higher-ups or just the FO's that got a lotta pull?

 

[DashTrash400]

What's it taking a QX FO to get hired by AS?

A willingness to believe AS will still be around in 10 or 12 years when you upgrade!

I heard that about 40 FOs applied...these would be the first three hired. But like Reverse said, six to AS and six to SW does constitute massive attrition round here!

Unless you mean five pitchers, it sounds like you're exercising restraint I didn't previously know you had.

Remember, if anyone asks, you're an accountant or a stay-at-home dad.

I personally like to go with dolphin trainer from Sioux Falls.

 

[CutEmUp]

Just found out today, they are NOT hiring FO's. Got the old, "please watch the jobs.horizonair.com website for future openings."

 

[ILStoMinimums]

I'm sure that will change with the rate of people leaving right now. I'm not sure if they ever post official "Hiring" status?

 

[Southbound]

It seems even with all the people now starting to leave the puzzle palace peeps are still offering LOA's to RJ FO's and a few captains in the dash. Me so confused.

 

[DashTrash400]

With all the Q400s in the current order on property, we're now losing 11 Q200s to CommutAir in the coming months. Losing people or not, we'll be overstaffed.

Horizon is just like PDT, but a great contract. A bunch of lifers that wont leave, no upgrade in sight and no growth ever again. next question....
