For starters, I did the interview for high time First Officers and every one I interviewed with was also a high time FO. I was fortunate enough to have a pilot working there write me some letters of recommendation which I believe helped me get the interview along with attending several hiring events. If called for the interview, it starts with a phone screening. Standard questions including why Horizon, some tell me about a time quesions, and they go over your time. Additionally, they want to know your 5 and 10 year plan. They have a flow with Alaska that they support so it seems ok if you say that you consider flowing but they are for sure looking for captains. Remeber every airline is looking to hire Captains so mention how you want to upgrade when you feel ready and safe to do so. Also, it is a bonus if you are willing to move to one of their bases. For the phone screening, just study the HR questions and you will be fine. If successful, they will have you work with them to set up a time for an in person interveiw were they fly you to Seattle. Very streamlined process where you can pick your own flight and the day that works best for you. The day before the interview, I flew in and stayed the night in one of the local hotels near the headquarters. The day of the interview, I walked to the headquarters, checked in with the front desk and waited with the other...

I interviewed for the Experienced First Officer position. I had over 900 hours of 121 time from my time at a ULCC (RIP). I was also a Naval Flight Officer (think Goose from Top Gun) with 2,700 hours flying in the back of Navy planes. There were 3 of us interviewing: myself, an Air Force NG KC-135 pilot, and a Part 135 twin Otter pilot. I don't know how they did, since I interviewed first. They brought us back at 0900 to a conference room, took our logbooks, and then gave a 20-minute overview... -

Arrived at the Hub, checked in, and chatted with the other 5 applicants while we waited for the PDP coordinator to take us back. We went upstairs and met the HR representatives and Horizon pilots who would be conducting the interviews. They gave us about a 30-minute presentation about the history of the company, details of the PDP, and details about the company, such as their core values. After the presentation, we were interviewed in order of who's flight home left the earliest. There were... -

Initially applied for the PDP in July. I was invited for the pre-recorded video interview about a month later, and a phone screening a couple of weeks after that. Shortly after the phone screening, I was called and invited to the in-person interview in Seattle. Arrival time was 8:00am at the Hub, which is a very short walk from the hotel (just be prepared to take the free shuttle to avoid any rain!). The other applicants and I met in the main lobby where we were greeted by the interview... -

It was a good experience regardless of outcome. Horizon put me up in the hotel near the Alaska Hub. It was a close walk. I arrived at 7:30 and met the other applicants and talked in the lobby. Everyone was very cordial. The other applicants were awesome. A few minutes before 8:00 AM they came to get us. We went upstairs and Horizon watched a presentation with a captain, FO, and Pilot Development Program coordinator. They told about the history of Horizon, and talked about each of the core... -

Initially applied for the PDP in July. Was invited for a self-recorded interview and submitted that by the end of July. Had a pre-interview screening via phone call in August. And then was formally invited for the in-person interview in Seattle shortly after that. The interview is exactly as described in previous submittals on here. My cohort had 6 applicants, and we all met in the lobby of the Hub. We were then ushered upstairs to a conference room for a short presentation. We met the... -

Pdp Interview, showed up 30 minutes early chatted with the other applicants before being taken upstairs for a 40ish minute presentation. They were doing interviews 1 at a time. Mines was with a hr rep, the hr manager, and a horizon pilot. Pretty laid back for the most part: tell us about yourself, why Horizon, 6-7 TMAAT questions and that's it. The study guide questions nailed... -

The interview was almost exactly the same as the interview reviews that have been posted here. It started with a company presentation, followed by a one-on-one interview with two interviewers. The interview was entirely behavioral. Almost every question was in a TMAAT format. They asked follow-up questions based on my answers, but there were no technical or HR surprise questions. Overall, nothing unusual. If you prepare well using the interview reviews and have several solid TMAAT stories... -

Preamble is the same. Fly in the night before, The HQ Hub is visible from the hotel, there is plenty of food in walking distance or order if you prefer. It was raining in the morning so the shuttle was able to take us up the hill, you can leave your luggage at the hotel or they can store it in the lobby at the Hub personal preference if you have a flight to catch quickly. There were only 4 of us, as far as I know we all received a CJO, We all lived in a Horizon or Alaska base which I think... -

Interview was as described by previous recent accounts. The HR & chief pilot interviewers were very warm and welcoming. The tone of the interview was very kind and you could tell the interviewers wanted to see you succeed. Stayed at hotel night prior, walked 0.25 miles to the Alaska Hub building and got there at 8:40 for the 9:00am start time. Remember to plan for rain because it is Seattle and you donâ??t want to get soaked in your nice clothes. Started off with 30 min presentation...
