Good luck flying against Go! They have conditioned the market for ultra-cheap fares with ultra cheap pilots! If Horizon started flying there, I could see the Air Group come asking for big pay concessions!

Hey Moose,
They are asking for concessions. 5% pay cut CA/FO, 40% 401K cut and min guarentee from 92 a month to 85 hrs. I still doubt HI would work out and good luck on all of us commuting. But that was the last offer by mgmt. Off to mediation for a couple years.

I think you meant from 92 per bid, not per month. Big difference. Horizon insisted on 5 week bids to make the apples to apples comparisons more difficult with other contracts.

Yeah, my bad, coil you are 100% correct. I sure would like to get back to the monthly bids. 35 day ones suck....
