Read Page 1 ... other candidates were there. They all wore a black suits with blue ties. I was wearing a gray suit with a blue tie… (ahh that’s why I didn’t get the job!) The oldest gentleman was a former chief pilot at another 121 carrier and also typed in a 747. The other two were FOs from another major regional who did not want to upgrade to Captain there because quality of life is terrible as a junior Captain at that regional. (that’s what they said). All had way more hours than me. We chitchatted for several minutes and then just past 9am we were taken up to crew/rest break room. After about 30 minutes, the chief pilot came and introduced himself and the first candidate was taken back. 30 minutes later, he was escorted off (don’t know if he got the job). I was next. 7. Sat down at a large conference table with the panel of 3 others on the other side and one on webcam. The panel consisted of 2 HR reps, the chief pilot, and the person on the webcam was a base chief. There was virtually zero introductions besides, just name and title. Then the webcam guy asked me FAA violation questions: any accidents, flight violations, incidents, and training failures. I answered no to all of them. - The HR rep said talk us through your “resume from the beginning.” - Why Horizon? -I was...

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... -

I was selected for the Experienced first officer position. I met with the base chief pilot and HR rep. They were very welcoming from the start and they provided lunch as well. Started off with a presentation and then they call you one by one for an interview. After the interview, if you get the CJO, you do your fingerprinting and drug test there. There were a total of 4 of us and 3 of us got the CJOs. I was asked TMAAT questions, (view the study guide of this...
