SUPER!! Now who really gives a rat's arse if there's no one to fly them. We're not even staffed for what we have now and have pilots bypassing. I'll bet they didn't count on that happening. I mean, for 30k and all the fatigue you can muster, who wouldn't be all over it?

I hate hearing about furloughs, but Horizon pilots only have Horizon management to blame for this. Nobody had to pry those airplanes out of their hands.

Horizon announced the retirement of the 700 fleet a long time ago.

This is no different than when ASA retired the ATR 72 fleet, which indirectly resulted in pilots being furloughed and downgraded. I have no ill will for people flying ex-ASA ATRs, after all, our company sold them.

I thought those were sk tails, not hozizon.

Why on earth would you think that? Those airplanes are gone.
