Horizon adds "flood" flights

Maybe she thought you had to pay for that "subway" to the North and South satellites?

Well, I-5 was reopened about 2 hours ago. Typical of the Air Group - day late and dollar short kind of thing. It got itself in the news for a bit, but didn't materially help the hometown crowd much in a time of real need.
Now it's probably because I am an old legal aid lawyer and not an obsessive-compulsive bean counter, but if I were Horizon, I would have offered to fly people for free on Thursday. Just one day, but don't charge anything. The goodwill to come out of that is greater than any PR campaign it can think of.

Skywest ran a few extra flights yesterday too, and the load factors were less than impressive.

My 135 company has been pretty busy with extra charters the last few weeks flying extra cargo between BFI-PDX and BFI-GEG. so it has benefitted some I guess. Glad they got the interstate back up though. I'd rather not be tempted to do a charter at 2am on a saturday for 2 hours worth of pay...

SeaPort uses i think two PC-12, they don't exactly have the capacity to make much of a difference. ... yet.

I wonder how many flights they were able to add. I was recently furloughed and wondering what they are going to do because they were already short on F.O.'s. Well, just found out they are going to train a bunch of captains to be right seat qualified so they can use them as F.O's or captains. Obviously, they can't afford to pay me $32 to sit in the right seat but instead pay someone $84 an hour! As they would say, I guess I don't have the big picture.
Another shining example of the Error group in this story, capitalize on the weary and call it good will.
