E-175 deferrals
Anyone concerned about another delay in the acceptance of E-175's?
"The company recently deferred six Embraer E175 deliveries from the 2018-2019 period to after 2020. Partially offsetting these deferrals, Alaska will extend the lives of three Q400 turboprops that it had planned to retire in 2019. The net result is that Alaska's regional fleet is now set to shrink from 95 aircraft at the end of 2018 to 92 aircraft by the end of 2019."

I thought that AK/QX was healthy and growing. (AK stopped approx 300 pilots short of their 2018 hiring goals). WTH...

It didn't make sense to me anyways having this lonely skywest flight from Texas to LGA.
And in my opinion 4 percent growth are still pretty good. We have a bunch of debt to pay off. And if they defer 3 Embraers it actually makes no difference to any current pilots, I don't think we already have hired and trained enough pilots for 30 Embraers.
I'm conservative with my private spending so I like it when my company is too.

Lame answer dude. You must be a company pogue. I'd be suspect of anything you say. The hiring numbers are from AAG.

It’s all part of Alaska’s plan to kill VX and strong-arm QX with OO.
VX made money in NYC and DAL. How do they kill it? Buget cuts, closing the NYC base, and see how VX pax like flying on OO. Among other things, like putting then Airbus fleet on routes that don’t perform to skew the numbers.
AS already contracted 35 175s with OO. The fact that AS can’t offer the same to their only WO should speak volumes. Nobody should be able to justify QX getting less than their fair share.
