What? There’s enough over at the Alaska forum to paint a picture of the AAG boogeyman you speak of. At horizon we have to deal with AAG puppets that are focused on bottom line results and pronouns. These puppets aren’t horizon made, they come from ALASKA.
The above shouldn’t prevent anyone with going to Horizon, for the most part it’s a good place to work for a regional. With that being said, moving on to Alaska is becoming 2nd or 3rd option for many because of what has already been said here.
Alaska pilots have the problem. It’s most of the older crowd that can’t face the fact they’ve been worked over by AAG time and time again. But just taxi out in ANC and watch the middle finger from the 737s towards you that hold the same paint job. We aren’t your problem, but they can’t stomach the reality of their own short comings. Some, in a minority, think horizon is rooting for E195s to come to QX in reality that’s further from the truth. We want mainline to get those and have the ability to move on make more money and fly a platform we admire.
