Wow! If true that demonstrates a real negotiations failure by the AS pilots. For those lifer Horizon pilots who care, the C-Series would be a better ride and offer more route flexibility (Stockton to Kahalui is a possibility with the C-Series from what I read). Plus, given the predominate Bombardier Q400 fleet, no doubt Bombardier is trying to upsell.
These planes should be flown by mainline pilots - but the AS guys will have dropped the ball in this case if the rumor is true.
