So...maybe, possibly, if the price is right (work for free?), we could potentially get 30 shiny new jets within just five short years?
When do the "at lest 20" Q400's get parked?
I don't see how this deal could in any way be a bad deal for the QX pilot group.
No thanks.

I wouldn't recommend ANYONE coming here right now. How many BILLIONS of dollars does Alaska have to make before enough is enough? Just give the jets to skywest, F' em...
If you are a new here you can look forward to getting furloughed at the end of next year when we lose 30% of our fleet after we all VOTE NO.

Just for curiosity sake. why would it take 5 years to get 30 jets? what they plan on delivering 6 jets a year?
Also I don't see how an airline which operate 50-something q400s is not already more economical than SKW, which operates many different airframes. *shrugs*
