Theoretically, all the jets are being replaced on a one for one basis by Q400s. So all those pilots should be safe.

I'm pretty sure QX is shrinking from 53 total airplanes to 48...

Unless we order more a/c we will have to furlough and downgrade. I think they were planning on more people jumping ship but things have slowed down. With this news it might kick folks of the fence who wanted to stay for the NW base.

It would be nice if Skywest could give preferential interviews to our poor Fo's who are about to be thrown under the bus yet again.

So the word on the street is to furlough again after the recalls and new hiring? Or is this just speculation?

That was pretty funny. Had a few girls in office dancing around. Nice distraction.

Why not have Alaska fly its own jets on these routes?
Harrison: We’ve found that larger jets don’t work well on these routes.
The Alaska pilots can't learn to fly CR7s?
