Understood that QX is transitioning to E175’s (and retiring the Q400’s), but this seems to be occurring on a timeline that’s TBD and has already had some unforeseen challenges affect the transition.
We've had a bunch of people go to Delta, SWA, etc.
121 is 121. Alaska has hired a bunch of Lakers in the past too flying 1900s. It doesn't matter.
