Scope is improved with the new deal. The number of 76 seat jets will decrease, as well as the overall number of RJs.

Be careful about identifying yourself here. LaMar and Ali DO troll these sites for dirt on pilots. It sounds ridiculous, childish, and petty, I know, but I learned first hand...

Just because Horizon is a small airline and flys small jets and turboprops doesn't mean it cannot grow and fly a MAINLINE airplane. Every airplane at Horizon is a MAINLINE airplane. We aren't flying for anyone but ourselves (AAG) included.

Read my signature below... Not sure you've realized yet. Your name gives it away and is probably the reason AAG will get away with bringing a third party carrier. They have to many of you guys there.

If that was sarcasm, forget my entire post please.

Hi, LaMar!
Hi, Ali!

Say weren't you down on me for bagging on Horizon a year ago? Now it sounds like you are not so happy with the company either. Can we now be friends?

Note: I think Horizon is great airline, you guys have had top notch pay and work rules for a while. I respect the Horizon group, and wish you all the best of luck.

I wouldn't debate their status as a regional carrier - however they DO have their own brand. Their planes are painted as Horizon not Alaska and they do sell a decent percentage of their tickets through their horizon brand, not all alaska. So they're a bit of a hybrid in that sense.
