Knowing how FLICA works. 1. Takes the people who bid to go. 2. eliminates those that bid Pass. 3. Then drafts those that don't bid.

I feel like this may be a ruse...like, a get the new pilot to go make posters gag. Why would you share such a valuable strategy in such a public way? Most guys would be like "Dude, they picked you for Flight Path? Bummer."

Also, skipping QX Factor means you also skipped the awesome water bottle. Unless you have a secret for that, too... ... ... ?

Peoplefirm has advised AG to be proactive by sending a flood of Koolaid at pilots to mitigate the backlash that will be caused by OO flying 88 seat E175 E2’s under their banner. OO has already ordered 100 with options for 100 more.

All those E2’s are convertible to “regular” generation E175’s..

Sure they are. OO went with the larger and heavier E2 only to pull the seats out and burn more gas.

Uhhh. OO can’t fly the E2 for any carrier due to scope limitations it has with Delta and United. QX is literally the only company that could fly them currently.

Alaska’s Airlines has NO scope. Silly suckers.

Correct, but Delta and United's scope (maybe American's too) limits the weight/size of aircraft that it's regional partners can fly for anyone (because they're not idiots). Which is why I said QX is the only regional that could operate E2s due to the lack of scope at Alaska and that being the only operator QX flies for.

I think what he means is DL and UAL have told OO they can't fly bigger RJs for competitors even if they have no scope, for anti competition purposes... Am I right Word?

Correct. That goes for all regionals operating for everyone other than Alaska.
