People are not wired to cut sunk costs and run. Getting the 175 program up and running was probably really expensive. My money would be that they limp into the autumn reduced schedule and figure things out.
Because this is aviation...Horizon is probably the best place to go right now to be at the tip of whatever they announce the day after tomorrow.
Seems like regionals that look the most bleak transform into "brah, upgradez "

So true.

Filler.

I don't see seniority numbers on the trip awards in PBS Transparency - is there a way to see who got what so we can figure out what we'd get at that base?

Also is there a way to find out how much flying guys on reserve are doing?

Thanks!

Nope. This was the compromise. Best bet is to find someone at the base near your seniority and ask them what line number they are and go from there.

As far as reserves, message reserve guys and they can look at all other reserve schedules. Limeholders can't. Go figure.

Compromise? Wouldn't the pilots want that info released? Delta does it.

Thanks for the response.

The company claims that the reason we didn't even get this before is because they fear people will stalk other people.


When in reality is it's because they didn't want you to see how sometimes guys jr to you get what you bid for.

And here we are. In their Willy Nilly "privacy" stance, this is the compromise

A friend told me all he was offered was only Q400 flying when he contacted Horizon. How is Horizon the best place to go?

I also heard a Skywest Dallas base going to be announced in Sept. Given the Alaska flying, this makes sense along with the continued decline of ExpressJet. Any other basis for that rumor?
