Alaska Suckers

One other problem is we did not sell them!!! We are leasing them!!!!!!
Does this open another can of worms???

It sure does, perhaps a legal one. If they had sold the jets to SKW, it would be a whole different thing. However, they're flying our airplanes on our routes under our operational control with our name on the side.

Therein lies the issue.

It doesn't matter because Alaska never put a RFP. They were just selling RJ's and I assume whoever was buying them got negotiate a CPA deal with Alaska.

B.T. and B.M. both stated in person that an RFP was put out to Regionals.

By 2016 Alaska will almost exclusively be a 156 to 178 seat aircraft fleet.
Can't you hear the whispers already, "well you see we have a big hole in our capacity in the 100 to 130 seat aircraft range, and since we are a SINGLE FLEET AIRLINE........"..

I fear its inevitable...

Sounds like we need some new volunteers for the union. But I also already know the statements to that comment. I am too busy...I am too blah, blah, blah...

But I have all the answers, just listen to me rant on FI.

This is just the beginning of the clean up for the Alaska/Delta merger. It will go down much smoother without the Horizon pilots on property gumming up the list.

Another quality ALPA operation.

This decision has got to be difficult for the QX CRJ crews that are being forced to down grade to a Q400 all the while watching the likes of Skywest operate their aircraft on the QX ramp at the QX gates with QX ground handlers, food and beverage in addition to QX station ops. What a slap in the face for QX. Sad, sad day!

Why would this have any thing to do with a merger? Alaska and Horizon are separate. Air Group could sell/merge Alaska and contract Horizon to the new airline. I don't see a merger of Delta-Alaska-Horizon.

Frontier and Lynx were to seperate airlines. They got bought out by Republic. Those pilots will now all be on the same list.

That's how it will happen, if it does. Alaska will go to the highest bidder (AA or DAL). Horizon will end up in the SKW, RAH or PNCL stable.
