Also AS CBA does not have RJ rates, so that would be a Can O' Worms too.
But ALPA does have 76 seat rates correct?

We don’t have E175 rates and that is all that matters. The training scenario alone would be a disaster. Every Alaska Airlines pilot could bid for E175 left seat which would effectively park that fleet while training occurred. Additionally, every Alaska Airlines flight attendant would have seniority to bid Ejet flying and have to be trained.
And last. It brings no benefit to Alaska Airlines to merge with one of our FFD carriers of which Horizon Air happens to be. The more likely scenario is to sell Horizon Air Industries to Skywest. That is the company that all of the employees of Horizon Air are employed by.

That sale scenario would have little benefit. It may have some short term cash flow increase but the downside risk of handing over all the leverage Aag has to prevent OO from asking for far more out of their FFD contract would be unacceptable and back aag into a corner they really don’t want to be in.

Pretty sure since Skywest Inc already is flying more than 1/2 of the outsourced feed they have all the leverage they need. I think for Horizon Air to be viable they will need to get rid of everything that is not related to operating their jets…..Rampers, CSA’s, cargo etc….Really focus on what they are…Pilots, FA’s and mechanics…
