I don't expect a merger of Alaska and QX, but I expect to be treated like an employee of the air group.
There are no Air Group employees outside of corporate.....You are either employed by Alaska Airlines inc.( which will be the employeer of the Virgin pilots/ fa's/ mechs) or you are employed by Horizon Air Industries.....At Alaska Airlines inc. our CBA's determine things like travel priority.....As do the cba's at every other airline....For Horizon(and Skywest) as lift providers to Alaska travel benefits follow behind Alaska Airlines inc employees
