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

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 "
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?

It was all just a bunch of rumors to get junior pilots to pass the crappy TA. SAPA was in on the conspiracy, too. I'm not believing anything until I see it in an official release.

I flew with a captain a couple of weeks ago who supposedly talked to a few big wigs in management about new 900s. Bombardier has around 30-40 new airplanes sitting around that nobody wants and they're willing to sell them for a song and a dance. We'll see how this rumor turns out.

The rumor is heard was 35 factory new 900s, at a bargain price of $21 million each. I don't know about that though because they said configured at 70 seats for AA scope... but AA scope says 66-76 seats count the same. 50-65 seats count the same, hence why PSA/Envoy have 63 and 65 seat 700s.
