There is no outsourcing of Horizon flying. All of the flying is Alaska Airlines inc. The route planners at Alaska Airlines decide who flys what. They decide if it will be mainline 737/A320 or if it will be regional feed. They also decide which regional feed. Skywest or Horizon. They have publicly stated that most midcon and east coast regional flying will be done by Skywest as well as most long stage length west coast flying. They are keeping Horizon mostly on the west coast north/south flying as Horizon cannot recover in an irop that occurs off the west coast. That is what Alaska Airlines is saying publicly. What Horizon is telling there employees may be different. It appears that it is Alaska Airlines intent to have a nearly equal balance in jet flying between Horizon and Skywest for the long term.
