Horizon is furloughing 17 more but 2 are on voluntary furlough, effective May 19th. They are downgrading 6 more Q400 captain in April. Good luck all and get unemployment through Oregon if you can it is more than you can get in WA.

Offer condolences? Did somebody die? An offline commute is never a sure thing.

I'm sure he meant it as just a common courtesy thing. Manners go a far way. However, I would never have bad feelings towards someone if I got bumped since it's part of the game but some guys are pretty arrogant out there.

anyone have any idea how far back the downgrades go? I am a former qx'er and know my class was downgraded in the fall, just wonder if anyone has any idea. Sucks to be an Fo not by choice after 8 years at a regional, but even worse to be out on the street. Best of luck!
