Rumor has it that there is a survey out asking Alaska pilots what their thoughts are on bringing a third party in, since HORIZON is losing money and thats the reason they are having to fight for a raise. If they got someone cheaper to fly it they could get their money back.
OHHHH MANNNNNNNN Im stirring the pot on this one.
That's the problem with being highly compensated in the regional world. Colgan now operates Q400's...how's the horizon scope?
It will be VERY interesting to see how the AK pilot group deals with this issue. Senior pilot groups generally have a poor record when it comes to taking care of their regional affiliates...hopefully they will do the right thing.
