March was a grind! Long trips. Late nights. Made the best of it though. Salt and Smoke BBQ in STL. Sushi the size of my forearm in GEG. Girlfriend drove up to PAE for the day. Spotted an ATP Seminole while I was up there.
Hard to say. That was the first month I had been. We just started operating out of PAE. I’m scheduled to fly there twice in April. One is a turn. The other a 12-hour layover.
Congrats on your recent upgrade at Horizon. I’m planning to move to Portland when I finish my military obligation and would like to apply to Horizon. Do you have any thoughts on the Pilot Development Program and have you seen any pilots make it through to Horizon? Is this program equivalent to ATP’s tuition reimbursement program but available to students or CFI’s at other schools?
Yeah! It’s similar to ATP’s Tuition Reimbursement Program, if not the same thing with a different name. You just have the option to do your training at any of the partnered schools. I’ve met quite a few pilots at Horizon that have gone through both programs.
Thanks for the quick response. Do you know if the Horizon recruiting department can provide a list of partner schools? I’ll be applying with commercial and looking for a location to work as a CFI. It would be even better to apply for the PDP and receive some funding toward my CFI ratings.
That’s a good question. I don’t know if they post the list of schools online. Off hand I know Hillsboro and Central Washington are on the list. A quick phone call to the recruiting department would do the trick.
