And for the Alaska guys who think this flying we lost was theirs in the first place, you never flew many of these routes. Example SAN-FAT and SLC-BOI. After the air group adds 50 more ER175's maybe you will learn this costs Alaska pilots jobs. All jets should be at Alaska, remaining flying should be flown by QX. HR does a great job of hiring yes voters up at big brother.
