F16Fixer,
Don't let these guys get you down. This industry isn't really all that bad. I work for Horizon and I happen to like it because I have put things into perspective and I havn't forgotten the fact that I love to fly. What I mean by perspective is that I understand the concept of buyer beware. I knew exactly what I was getting into when I interviewed.
However, I don't think alot of these guys' anger is misplaced. There are alot of companies that have really screwed people over, and who knows, I might be next on the chopping block at horizon. However, one of the reasons I chose this airline is because they are conservative and have less of a chance of getting in over their head. Also, they have a niche market, great customer service, and fairly competitive prices all while making a profit. So to answer your last question, send a resume to Horizon, but don't complain about the long upgrade time. Buyer Beware.
