Horizon CRJ??
 
was on a night flight with a student on tuesday and went into PDX, did a touch and go on 28R and on the go happened to look down and see a Horizon Air CRJ 7 or 9. Couldn't quite tell but definitely not a 200. Was parked there alongside a bunch of dash 8's on the ramp east of the terminal. has anyone seen a Horizon CRJ? i thought they got rid of them years ago and went to an all Dash fleet and haven't seen one in forever.

It's skywest. We aren't getting jets back anytime soon.

What he said.

It's SkyWest in Alaska paint. There are a growing number of them.

Poor horizon is about to get Envoy-ed but without new planes and without any flow

Pretty much. I wouldn't recommend anyone coming here right now.

Skywest is replacing 9 CRJ700s with 15 E-175s for Alaska.

so skywest has been flying CRJs for alaska in recent years? just haven't seen one in a long time.

The CR2 are used occasionally in the Alaska system when a cr7 goes in for mx for a check. Skywest uses the generic "Skywest" CR2s for those.

Well a non union bottom feeder like skw will get its turn to suffer eventually.
