Plus no major wants to contract anything more then 5-7 years. Hard to justify buying a 20-30 year lease when you can only get a 5 year contract.. If anything if Horizon's managment is smart they should be able to pull in a 20-30 Q contract form United... Maybe..

I just have to ask this question but the last 4 QX flights I've been on have been called "Alaska Airlines". How does that work out? I mean, it's different seniority lists but the same company and name? How long before the rampers disappear and Menzies takes over because that's cheaper? Then the gate agents? Then the lines continue to fade.....
I'm curious to how this plays out for both sides of the flight crews. Will this make it possible for other airlines to fly the Alaska side of business is both are now Alaska? If Horizon pilots are flying for Alaska Airlines then doesn't that make them Alaska pilots?

What is happening at Alaska/Horizon, as far as the flight crews a concerned, is a well worn path amongst almost every mainline carrier out there.
