Horizon info
hiflt,
To answer your ??'s, your times are more than competitive at this point. They were hiring folks from U of North Dakota with under 1000 hours before hiring stopped. Case in point, StormChaser has 1300 hours and was hired into the f28 which means he/she was hired, over 1 year ago. People that do not come from UND have tended to have anywhere from 1200 hours on up. I would guess ATP mins are sufficient. You would have no problem. I have heard (as stated in other post) we are not hiring this year at all.
Our domiciles are now PDX for all equiptment and a small DHC8-200 base in SEA. The pilot morale is poor in my opinion. We fly terrific new equiptment, complete with all the toys (heads up displays, dual FMS's), have a new contract that pays us industry statndard or better (new hires start out at $24 and change/hour, senior jet captains make over $100/hour), fly in a great part of North America.
All of these things said, I have never seen more unhappy pilots. One thing after another has separated the pilots and management to the point of pilots making lateral moves to other regionals, something unheard of at the "old Horizon". The company succeeds, despite the managers best efforts.
Hope this helps you out, keep in mind my opinions are just that, mine. I do share them with lots of other guys here, however. If I were you, depending on where you live and want to live, I would persue other pastures where the grass grows faster and the cows are happier. Any ??'s feel free to email.
