Can't argue there. So to rephrase, which is worse? Horizon or Eagle.

Default Its the person not the company...

What kind of pilot are you...Motivated, Determined, Passionate, Prepared, Humble...at least for a while.

If you hold yourSELF to high standards and love what you do...AGE will end your career!

The truth is, "career killer airlines" is truly hard to pin down. Some people may believe one is just because they are bitter about that airline of thier goals for thier career may be different than yours.. In the end no one really knows what a career killer is until your career has been killed. Things change too quickly in this industry and what might be a career killer today may be the career booster tomorrow.

Independence Air folding ended up being one of the best things that happened for my career. It's all in the eye of the beholder and your own personal goals and limitations.

It depends on what your career goals are? But if you're referring to stagnation to get to the left seat, thus not letting you move on to a major until you're in your mid 40's...well, at the momment horizon, eagle, possibly comair. That said, it could change tomorrow, and be Expressjet, Mesa, Chaniqua, and the *****s at gojets...you never know, all this guys have quick upgrade right now, but you never know.
