Default Horizon Retiring the Jets in Favor of the Q400

UPDATE AS OF 11:35 A.M. ET ON THURSDAY, APRIL 24: Alaska Air Group confirmed this morning that Horizon Air will switch to an all turboprop fleet. "In response to the current industry environment, we're taking a range of actions at Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air to increase revenues and lower costs, including transitioning Horizon to a single-type fleet of fuel-efficient Q400 aircraft," Alaska Air CEO Bill Ayer said in a statement talking about the company's earnings.
Looks like we should all start training in the Q400. It's going to be different for sure in the next few years to come.
