That's what caught my attention.
Horizon will probably end up with E190/195s, to go along with more 175s, they’ll likely keep the dash 8 for some of the routes that may not support jet service. Skywest may get some as well if they can make it work and not violate their agreements with their other partners.
The Alaska pilot group is going to regret the lack of scope in the contract.
Unless the options on their new Max order are exercised the next five years will see no growth at the mainline level. I doubt that will be the case at Horizon and Skywest.
