The trolls are coming, the trolls are coming!
Seriously, wake the f--- up. This forum is for talking about issues that matter to Horizon pilots, and would be Horizon pilots. I have the right to pass on comments, in this case from a senior Horizon CA, without my words being treated as raw sewage. I don't lurk outside board rooms, and I don't solicit comments from anyone. I'm just a pilot who asks questions. If you disagree with anything I, or anyone else for that matter, happens to write, then by all means question it. But I have no respect for anyone who uses this forum to attack a co-worker.
This is not my first flying job. I know how important it is to be a team player in a crew environment. Your comments, sir or ma'am, suggest that you are not.

I wouldn't mind a little clarity on the fleet plan myself. I keep hearing that the Q400's are "going away", but they don't seem to be going away very fast.
I was curious as to how many flights the jet operates as opposed to the Q400, so I took a quick look at our flight schedule today and fired up my calculator. The answer? Roughly 15%. We're still mostly a "proudly all turboprop" airline.
The jet seems to be massively overstaffed right now, which indicates that the company MAY be about to get serious about more jet deliveries. Otherwise, it looks like a long, hot summer for us in the Q400. The FO side seems to be almost OK (not much open flying), but we are borderline short on captains. From what I've heard, we're running out of people that meet the time minimums to upgrade.

Busted. I've been at this company for six whole months, barely off OE, and yet somehow I've become so cozy with management that I've been given the absolutely imperative job of spreading shiny lies and B.S. on this forum. You are so right, whoever you are hiding behind that anonymous tag.
