Okay, when Horizon starts dropping mins, you KNOW the regionals are having a hard time finding people.

Ok fellas, enlighten me here. Haven't heard much IRT Horizon. Is Horizon considered one of the top tiered/desired regionals to work for?

Yes. They are the highest paid regional pilots in the industry. The only problem is that the people that work for Horizon like it so much they stay instead of move on, hence the long upgrade time.

I'm surprised that Horizon "blinked" before Skywest. Perhaps because the longer upgrade at Horizon???

Well, I applied about 3 weeks ago and still nothing. I am sitting at over 1800tt and over 500 turbine so I don't think that is the problem. I think I need to get to know someone who works there. Perhaps I can go jumpseat on the west coast on my next weekend off!!!

Hey man, how the heck are you doing?

[Cessnaflyer]

Only if this was a year in the future!

My dream is closer!

One reason why I enrolled in the CWU program was to get those reduced hiring mins they gave students that graduated from the program and met the reqs. for the direct hire program. Haha kinda makes me feel better about my decision to leave the program and move back home to go to school and fly on the side.

[Rayflyoz]

Ya the Hr people are a little slow calling people. usually takes about a month, at least it did for me. We are definality short, I was pulled out of class to fly.

[Fly_Unity]

The day they lowered the minimums, my coworker (who has 850/85) sent a resume in, and the very next day got a call and got offered the interview.

[Rayflyoz]

Well I stand corrected. How did his interview go?

[Fly_Unity]

I had to turn down the interview today due to my being called up to serve in Afghanistan. They said I have an open inventation when I get back but I will be at 3 year seniority at Eagle when I get back and that is very hard to walk away from to go to the bottom of another regional.


Damn timing

He said they used a Frasca 142 with it tuned up to a higher speed, He messed up on his instrument work, He said it was more then " radar vectors for the ILS" He got his double eye one week before the interview.
