Like I said I haven’t read anything about the deal for many months so your info is way more updated than mine. I think I read about it in the Puget Sound Business Journal a while back.

Once the Boeing acquisition is complete of Embraer's commercial division, the announcement will be a firm order of 60 E2 aircraft, 60 options at a significant discount. This will be to lift the sagging order book for the E2, replace the Airbus aircraft, and Benbrad can claim they're still sticking with "Proudly All Boeing."
The rumor is they'll announce QX will fly them, but they real strategy is to just SAY that so we fight hard for scope during contract talks, expending negotiating capital while ignoring other items. Then, once we have scope they'll go mainline.
They'll just poach QX's manual for the majority of the AOM. All they need to do is walk across the street now and open a filing cabinet. Psh, they can even get parts synergy since the QX E-175s have high commonality with the E2.

Same type rating as the E170/190. Presumably it would be flown under current CBA, just at the +15% rate adjustment.

Excluding the OR/WA/MT/ID regional route structure, Skywest and Horizon are operating a good chunk of the Alaska Airlines route structure. You will fly the E2 where they tell you for the same scraps as you now fly to STL, ORD, MSP, MCI, DFW, DAL and so on. Horizon will do longer flying and Skywest shorter flying. Your contract assures it.

Correct. Horizon flying the E2s will be the sum of Alaska’s future growth. I’m sure Embraer is slinging some deals considering the Legacies with vision are going with the A220.

That's both hilarious and depressing. It sums up what we're up against. I bet they asked Alaska for a picture and the brain trust in Seattle sent that.
