With the big maintenance base out in BOI, I would bet Horizon operated 175's would be in PDX and the BOI flying would go to Skywest. Can't imagine PDX-BOI and SEA-BOI is how Alaska wants to use 175's (at least right now), that must just be for the mx base. It would make more sense for the long(ish) legs out of BOI to be on a 175. Who knows, and like you said, that's a few years out at the earliest anyway.
Upgrade classes would have to be huge in the near future to make that happen, not that is wont but it ist the smallest likelyhood. Like 50 upgrades a month for the next year big. Lots of big classes were hired in 2011.

Upgrade is just under 4 years and management keeps telling us it's going to drop to 2 and 1/2. But that would be extreme it's more likely going to get down to 3 years maybe by March or April but I don't think it will get below that.

A few.. nearly 500 FOs have bypassed. Most are waiting until they can hold a line, go to class after the holidays, etc. And a bunch refuse to move/commute to MSP.

That's just a flat out lie. There are no 3.5 year captains. I'm over 3.5 years and I'm not even close to upgrade. I'd say I still have at least 3 or 4 months to go to hold the most junior base assuming they keep running classes which could stop at any time. They stopped upgrading for 2 months in Sept and Oct. The November class went very senior. No one under 4 years was awarded upgrade for the November class. The upgrade time has actually been INCREASING for most of the fall, not decreasing.

flying airplanes on short routes to outstation mx is part of SKYW business plan. Cos-Den. All the Chicagoland mx, tuc-phx, psp-lax. Building boi fits right in line.
