This is just how I feel about working here.

I agree with you on this 100% yet, reality is that we do and the Horizon guys should be pretty miffed by this.
However, we don’t need scope, no reason at all [sarcasm]...🤦‍♀️

When the SPEEA guys in Everett stop leaving FOD in the new KC-46s I’ll transfer my concern to the QC problems down there.

Apparently it's much worse in SC. At some point BCA needs to realize they're on double-secret probabation and need to make some big changes, instead of deflecting blame.

Yep, all the wasted time and taxpayer $$$ wasted to say 'Made in America'. So worth dumping the Airbus Tanker for this...

One would think they would have got out of their contract with skypest if they could. Must be a solid contract. What do the lawyers think?

Skypest learned about contractual loopholes from UAL years ago, they don't eff around any more. Their contract is good.

Weird elementary school name calling. Skywest does a great job operating for Delta, United, American and even for our little west coast regional. Horizon would be lost without Skywest...It is on us as a group that we have no contractual limits to outsourcing to Horizon and Skywest...
