This is just our industry with a seniority system which makes for zero portability. Half of our attrition is from people less than 12 months on property. They have nothing invested. So when you know you are stuck here, it can lead to this bitterness. I admire the folks here who have the open honesty to admit that even after a new TA, they won't be happy here because it's still AS.

We are barely a step up from the regionals at this point. Even with a good contract, management despises us and there is no plan here.
Remove seniority from the equation and 99% would take a job at a real airline. Even Shy, probably even OTZ. Have you noticed all we talk about in here is hoping we merge with a real airline? It's sad.

Not sure how you could do that. 100% sure that ALPA would be against that as well as the Alaska Airlines pilot group. How do you merge a pilot who is just barely not a “flight instructor” on top of a pilot with thousands of hours of 121 airline experience. The make up of the Horizon pilot seniority list will prevent any chance of a merger…

This whole thing should come back to bite them for paying so poorly back in the day. So if they are willing to pay $191.25 for a 12 year 76 seat CA, that’s $2.5 per pax per hour. So the bar is set, what does your 737’s hold 180-200? So 12 year CA pay should be between $450-$500 per hour. Perfect. Send it out.
