What's happening at Horizon and Jets?

Depending on QX scope protections, AAG might or might not be able to transfer the planes to AS one at a time and then "offer" the pilots new jobs. Problem there would be that AS CBA probably would not permit the assignment of "new" pilots to "DEC" RJ CA positions without a system bid. So ASALPA would have to play LOA ball somehow. Also AS CBA does not have RJ rates, so that would be a Can O' Worms too.

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.

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…
