This is an interesting turn and encouraging for current (?) and prospective Horizon Air pilots:
"In a new effort to attract and retain pilots at Horizon, management separately
announced Monday a new program setting up an easier career path for Horizon pilots to move up to the better-paid jobs at Alaska Airlines.
Pilots joining the program will be offered the opportunity to interview with Alaska early in their career at Horizon, regardless of flight time or experience.
When Alaska has openings,
it will hire without any additional interviews from a pool of experienced Horizon pilots in the program whose record at the regional carrier is sufficiently good, with offers based on seniority."
