Horizon Called

"would hate to be one"
"all my ratings and training came through the old part 61 way. Never through college or anything else"


I say you're hired, you sound like a blast to fly with. We can spend the whole time with you telling me how much better your training was. Get over yourself man.

I wanted to say that i really don't have anything agaist those who go through the 141 school, however, my previous statement was only said because i think so many that go through that type of school take things for granted.
i do know and have worked with several that have gone that way, many of which I can so where no stuck up or think the world was given to them.
I am happy for anyone who makes it through aviation, I just do not like those type of pilots, or students who think that the world owes them something in life.....

You're entitled to your opinion, just pretty harsh words coming from a) someone who apparently knows nothing about the school, and b) someone whose about to interviewed by an UNDie.

I bet there are pilots at Horizon that don't like UNDies, but they got hired anyways.... because it's not a topic that comes up in an interview.

 

[NDPILOT]

i bet you're probably right

This cracks me up. Whenever there is a Horizon post on here, it always comes down to this stupid UND topic. You guys need to get over it. Who cares. If you can fly the stupid airplane and land it without braking off the landing gear, then who cares where you got your training. Now I know there are a lot of pilots out there that are way more qualifyied than the UND guys, so I do wonder why we are still hiring them right now. I think it is a management ploy because these guys have no idea how airline flying is and they won't complain because they are grateful for the job. Kind of a divide and conquer tactic. But that's my opinion. Just remember guys, upgrade is over 4 1/2 years now and isn't going to get any better anytime soon because we deferred our jet order. No more jets for 2 years and then only 2 a year. Still want to work here?

BTW, what kind of a/c and base would they give to new hires now? Just wondering...

last class was for the DHC-8 in SEA and the Q400 in PDX. Each month it is different because they hire into whatever aircraft they need people.
