When the -400s and -700s get replaced by new -800s and new Max aircraft there will be a gap between 76 seats in the DH8 and 156 seats in the -800. That's a big gap. What aircraft will fill that gap? The MRJ90? Who will fly them? Skywest? We are addressing scope in our negotiations but......

It looks like Horizon is gearing up to take over SE Alaska flying some time in the future. There is even talk of rebranding Alaska.

I foresee a future where Horizon takes over the Alaska flying/brand and Alaska is folded in to another airline for long haul domestic flying or is rebranded entirely.

Times, they are a-changing.
