There is nothing contractual to prevent Horizon from operating a 100 seat aircraft for Alaska Airlines
I think that’s what Rick meant

This is a true point. Delta’s contract with Skywest stipulates that they cannot fly >76 seats for a competIng carrier. I believe Rick is saying aircraft of that nature will be easier for mainline Alaska pilots to negotiate ownership of from Horizon as opposed to a non-wholly owned regional contractor such as Skywest.
