Really? Is this what they say? Well they aren't the pilots I work with. Why the hell would we take any concessions when we've made money for three years straight, had two consecutive record profit quarters, and are getting more 76 seat Q400s that make a fair profit for the company?
As far as "losing" the Frontier contract. I wouldn't call it that. We needed the airplanes for our own system and Frontier wanted a cheap ***** airline to lower thier costs in the face of competition.
Alaska's operating costs may be too high, by they aren't Horizon. And I don't work for Alaska.
