This is troubling news for a potential recruit. Its like AAG wants to make Horizon a troubled place to work. This is not good for either company or its customers.
And then forcing you into direct competition with Skywest, the destroyer of regionals, while your still in the growing pains of adding a new air frame is just mean. I smell scapegoat.
Tell me they are at least honoring the 30% flow.

Besides, all their training facilities are going to be tied up teaching Boeing to Airbus guys and vice versa, for awhile anyway....

It seems most airlines are happy to do this for years in a petty attempt to divide the employee groups and use their collective frustrations to pull sham gimmicks.

Having lived through a contentious airline merger already, I can tell you it aint fun.
