I will keep FAI with compass all day. 12 hours pay for 36 hours away from home, to me that sounds pretty sweet.

Well that sucks. I wonder who's going to be flying the MRJs come next year - was that when TSH is going to start accepting the first deliveries?

haha, no. That program has hit a few roadbumps. I think they are now 2 years behind schedule. 2018 is when they expect the first airline airframe off the production line, thats not even for a US carrier. No idea how far down that delivery list TSH is, but probably near the top of US carriers. So it will be a while longer than planned for TSH to get any. Also, pretty sure that airplane is too heavy for current scope, no?
Also, it means nothing that they have orders. They could just sell them off for profit as well, without ever touching the darn thing. Just sell the delivery slot like a broker. Basically use that as additional source of income. Republic has CS orders, but they will never fly them.

If you had an entire month of that pairing, it would take 7 of those pairings to build a line, leaving 9-10 off days depending on days in the month. TAFB to credit ratio of 3:1 isn't that impressive, especially with the knock it takes on your circadian rythem and challenges of Alaskan winters.

Who gives a crap honestly none of the routes belong to anyone. I'm at OO and I wish these routes were mainline. I could give two craps if compass got it or SkyWest got it.

Is it true when OO goes into Aspen you both put your hands on the throttles for the approach, in a sense, hold hands...?
