Airline Pilot Central Forums - Alaska Air Hiring

Same email indicates an aircraft order coming. If I was a betting man, I’d say odds favor many Max’s to replace all the Airbus’ and older 737. I’d say somewhere in the range of 101...

Well, there’s a new trend in Europe, which may just make it’s way over here. Let the struggling airline fail, then pick it’s carcass apart. Seems to be working quite well. We may not see mergers as much anymore.

You don’t hire a third party that specializes in fleet modeling to just return to a single type.

You should read up on the range/ payload capability of the EMB-190E2.

Considering we don’t have scope it seemed like the most important and frightening part of the emails we received today.

Hey, I’d love to see a dual fleet. I’d love to see them add all kinds of new types to the certificate, (flown by AS pilots). Reality is, they’re most likely just bidding time until the Max is back up and flying so they can announce their decision with a show of confidence from the FAA and Boeing to help alleviate pax fears. They’ve had more than 3 years to “study” the Bus and make a dual fleet decision. I don’t see it happening. Believe me, I hope I’m wrong and there is a large diversified a/c order but......common.

We may not have scope now but by the time they could even consider bringing a larger RJ on property, we’d be so embroiled in section 6 (section 1) negotiations, I doubt they’d be willing to risk announcing such a venture and still believe the operation would run as usual. I think we’d get a chance to vote in some meaningful protections by the time such an a/c were to be talked about. The 190 E2 was in our hangar last year too, haven’t see it in AS paint yet...

I wouldn't put too much weight on that. Regardless, they've already said the 319s/320s are going to be gone. If we are to be a dual fleet, it would be 321s going forward.
