Think there are still 2 aircraft to be dilevered..I would say .. No.. SkyWest is not getting QX 175's as of now... more route shifts as QX uses our routes to start there operation.. But i do think its position as QX is running into problems.. sim not ready, pilot contract problem ect...
Don't get me wrong. I have some good friends over at QX and I certainly don't wish their demise. But, if you can't get pilots, you can't fly the airplanes you have - much less new ones. It probably doesn't help when you sue the company that has kept you in business, in spite of industry realities, for several years now.
At some point, they are going to cease being AAGs golden child and I don't think those shiny new "jungle buses" will be going to the desert anytime soon.

Why would any pilot really want to go there? Pay? Upgrade? Equipment? Domiciles? Schedules?

It's actually the opposite, Horizon has bailed Alaska out of declaring bankruptcy multiple times in the past. Without Horizon there would be no Alaska. Our union has also bailed Horizon management out several times from mismanaging the company into the ground. Skywest has always been AAGs golden child, from the minute they rolled out the red carpet and gave you all our RJs. One of the directors actually wanted to have a Horizon/Skywest barbecue in celebration of it, clueless moron lol.
