Trust me, when the planes come out of the hangar and I have multiple pages of cabin work/NEF replacements in the logbook to look through, the interiors look VERY good.

Rumor is that there's a TA between Horizon Managment and the pilots to bring back jets to Horizon. If true and if it passes, sounds like the real battle for Seattle will be Horizon 175s Vs. DL 190s. Skywest and Compass pilots are the losers here. And, of course, Alaska pilots will continue to have anemic growth or possibly shrinkage in the next ten years.

Seriously though, there will still be more than enough work for Compass and Skywest, just not as much on the west coast. It seems daily that the east is suffering rj cancellations due to lack of crews.
