If OO buys 190's to operate for AS, you can kiss those planes goodbye.

Major airlines such as Delta have scope clauses that prevent SKYW from flying aircraft with more than 76 seats. Even if SKYW operates aircraft with more than 76 seats for other regional airlines such as Alaska Airlines.
There is nothing contractual to prevent Horizon from operating a 100 seat aircraft for Alaska Airlines
I think that’s what Rick meant

With QX, airgroup ultimately owns it all, so they could transfer the planes (and flow the pilots) with minimal fuss.
Unlikely OO would fly them anyway, due to scope with other partners (unless the BK judges take care of that for them).

If things don’t get a lot better the chances of a bankruptcy at a major are still very high

I’m a skeptic myself. I learned what “doing the right thing” means to management during my probation year.
They expect it from us but don’t do it themselves...

There will be no no planes or pilots “Flowing Up” to mainline. Horizon flying jets is a C scale operation to us. We already operate for the same rates 100 to 200 seat airplanes. Allowing a 190 or a 220 to be added to our certificate for anything less than a 321NEO or a MAX 10 rates would be a major failure on our part. But Brad and Ben appreciate your desire to do just that
