EXACTLY! Sure, QX is not as unproffitable as they want us to beleive, BUT, it is going to cost a fortune to get 175's online here and I just dont see the AAG board going for it. Regardless of how any sort of new TA with the pilots goes, the simple fact remains that 00 has the ability to easily absorb more E175 flying almost immediately. That is what worries me about this entire situation.
I firmly beleive that 00 will be the regional for AS, and Horizon will die with the Q400. Any city pair which is not profitable (or possible) to serve with the 175, will simply be cut from the schedule.
