Sounds like the hiring at QX might come to a screeching halt. From the AAG's quarterly earnings announcement:

"The company announced cost cuts and revenue enhancements that it hopes will boost full-year pretax income by about $150 million.

First, it said it would further reduce the size of the fleet at its regional Horizon Air subsidiary, which will result in "some job losses." It hopes to address those losses through attrition.

Also, within two years, Horizon Air will go from a fleet of 65 aircraft and three aircraft types to a fleet comprised of only larger, 76-seat Bombardier Inc Q400s, the company said."

As a former QX'er, hate to see that news. Anyone with more info know what the plan for eliminating the CRJ700 is?
