I appreciate your perspective and venting. Good to do sometimes. However, what specifics do you suggest to improve? It sounds like you have some good ideas, so, hit us with some concrete suggestions, and then I can ask my reps up here in the great white north (i.e., the best base ;-)) about getting them implemented.
Thoughts / suggestions?

"Beginning in 2017, Alaska sees the potential to increase the number of 76-seat jets in its fleet by 30 aircraft over a five-year period. These jets will be used to strengthen and grow Alaska’s network to more mid-continent markets that are too long-haul for the Q400 and too thin in demand to fill a 737. Horizon will have the first opportunity to compete for this new flying."
......and Skywest et al will be sitting by idly..... Let the silly games begin!
An old fart (one of those I got mine types) once told me, "scope ain't worth the paper it's written on". The $hit is accelerating towards the fan. Seriously, folks?

As a QX person, if my job is going to go away due to attempts at cutting costs... it sure would be nice if it was those at Alaska doing the flying instead of continued bloating of the SkyWest "regional" flying. (Seattle-Milwaukee? What region is that, North America?)
Every other major airline that has a regional partner has better scope protection. I wonder why that is?

Alaskan Air is slated to have 150 B737s by 2017. 45 RJs flying around in Alaskan colors is quite a big number for such an insignificant airline. That's 30% of airgroup's flying. Alaskan will be the first airline industry's "Uber" - eskUber!

To the fools who thought scope wasn't worth the paper it was written on...this joke is on you! Now AAG will get all the shiny RJs they want before the contract is even amendable. Wonder why scope was a hard "no" by the company in the last negotiation...
