Same here, bunch of crummy 4 days the vast majority in our base don't want.

I think I had all of the charts for JFK, SFO, ORD and maybe one other. You can find them for free if you search around but they're not technically supposed to be free.

Horizon were apparently told if they can make the cost work they "can compete" for 30 175s for Alaska so there must be a RFP out there.

They can compete is totally different than you get them, just a big maybe with many out options for alaska to give them elsewhere and have horizen pilots at the same time take cuts.

As for whoever a comment about Alaska tripling their regional feed in one year, it's not hard to triple very little. To be cost competitive with Delta etc they need to contract out more flying that's not necessary profitable in a 737 but is in a regional jet, thereby increasing profits and maintaining market share.
If I was Alaska Management I would push my regional agenda rough and hard now before the pilots push in a scope clause. If I was a pilot wanting to work for Alaska I'd double time it to a interview/job fair.
Most people want a mainline gig, but regionals are here to stay and they play a intricate part of mainline business models, the sooner Alaska gets on board the better as a company they'll be, the faster their pilots get scope clause the better they will.
