I'm sorry to hear this. Horizon is due for some good news. Especially considering a third of the FO's are probably in the pool at Alaska! Makes me wonder what Horizon will look like in two years.

Doubt it is any where near a third....the only Horizon FO's that get hired are Legacy brats or they can check all the "boxes"

So if mainline starts taking flying back , what does that mean for the guys that are just hitting the 1500hr mark . Will that mean those guys will now need say 3000 hours just to be competitive and get hired vs 1500 at a regional ?

Regionals can even fill their classes right now. Takes a heartbeat to get an interview at regionals.

Mainlines take back flying = mainlines increase hiring = attrition increases at regionals = regionals hire/shrink/shut down.
