Just spoke to a friend of mine who (until recently) worked for them...he's gone now because of (as I recall) the director of ops who was a non pilot pain in the ice hole. Reason I contacted him is to get some low down on the flying etc. He said the flying was alright, but didn't balance against the management issues...he's since gone to another company over there flying 212/412.

Despite his advice I sent a resume to Horizon. Sent another email to Horizon to check on whether they'd received the resume. The following is an excerpt from a subsequent email from my friend over there who'd just spoken to the Ops Mgr on the phone:

HORIZON DUDE: Why does this guy keep emailing me and sending resumes?
FRIEND: He's interested in coming to work for you.
HORIZON DUDE: Tell him to contact me.
FRIEND: I believe he already has (by email).

Sheeeesh! Horizon Dude isn't the brightest bulb in the box, is he? Opinions?

Apparently, apart from the Jet Ranger instruction they are starting some fixed wing training on 182's.
