As a Horizon guy, I wouldn't be worried. What do we have to fight for, contract wise? Where do we lag behind other regionals, with regards to compensation? Perhaps a better min. guarantee? As far as being whip-sawed against anyone else, we've only played the role of the victim. And as a wholly-owned, our management team will never bid for flying that isn't from Alaska. This question was actually recently asked and answered, and the answer from management was "Why would we use Alaska Air Group resources to serve a competitor?"
Horizon is not a threat to anyone in the regional airline industry. I'm not saying that the MEC over here would
object to participating, but rather likely wasn't even approached.
