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...

Began with a short 30-minute phone screening with an HR representative reviewing over your application, hours and asking a few questions like “walk me through your career”, “why horizon?” and “what are your 5-year/10-year goals?” I was offered an in-person interview initially but had to reschedule due an illness. They provided me roundtrip flights and a hotel and provided free lunch on the day of interview. On the day of the interview, I walked from the... -

Interview was straight forward. Started by being escorted to a conference room as a group. Alaska and Horizon staff were extremely welcoming and kind. I interviewed with a group of 4 other candidates. Once in the conference room, HR collected our logbooks and took them to the chief pilot for review. Be sure to tab all check rides and endorsement for high altitude, tail wheel, high performance type things. Endorsements for check rides, training solos and writtens are not what they are talking... -

Resubmitted and received an email with an invitation for a phone interview. Only a few dates were available. so be ready. Selected a date for my phone interview. Only thing you'll need is logbook to give hours for confirmation (total time, last 12, 121 qualifying time, instrument, etc.). Phone interview was laid back. Julia talked about... -

I had an amazing experience; very squared away and friendly company. I interviewed as Experienced FO; no technical questions and this guide was excellent prep. Diversity question was definetly asked. Also, they looooove if you bring in core values and volunteerisms into your answers. I was flown in the night prior, took a shuttle the hotel, had a restaurant/bar and a decent snack store. Breakfast is available if you pay and coffee bar was available as well. I just walked to the... -

Awesome experience. Phone screening with one HR Rep, took about 30 mins. Why Horizon and normal back ground questions. Was offered an in-person interview. The weeks leading up they send you all the hotel and flight information. I was flown out the day before the interview, took the shuttle to the hotel. HQ is right up the hill from the hotel. I walked to HQ the morning of the interview and got checked in. While waiting I met the other interviewees, both really awesome folks. Everyone in the... -

There was a Phone interview with an HR person initially. HR questions mostly, tell me about your flying history, why Horizon, where do you see yourself in 5/10 years, they also tell you exactly how the interview will go which was 100 percent acurate. Day of intervew was very relaxed, everyone in the Alaska "Hub" was extremely courteous and professional. Went exactly as described. There were two of us. We were taken upstairs into a conference room and turned in our Logbooks and... -

Overall a good experience. Interview went like most others on here have said. There were 4 of us for the interview that day. We checked in and waited in lobby for a bit. Talked with each other until around 9am. At 9am, we met with our interviewers and went in for a presentation about the company. We learned about the history of Horizon, company values, benefits as an employee, and what to expect if hired. We then went to wait in the common area and were pulled one by one for an interview... -

Horizon Air is an extremely professional regional under the Alaska Airline Group. I applied for the experienced first officer position in the middle of the Summer and after 2 months of silence was told to resubmit under a new posting that opened in the Fall. I met the experienced FO recruiter and a Captain at a hiring event in the next month and giving both of them my resume while discussing my experience and why I wanted to work for Horizon. I received a call 2 weeks later to schedule a...
