    I mean, I don't lose sleep over it so hate was probably too strong a word. But I certainly think they look stupid.

    Alaska switched the OKC service from SkyWest to Horizon.

    Given Alaska’s strategy to not open OKC even though they have had their maintenance done here for two decades wouldn’t give me much confidence that they’ll open any new routes just because of SkyWest. At the end of the day, the airplane “clocks out” - it’s Skywest’s job to get it into maintenance. So it doesn’t do AS any benefit to open marginal routes just to help cycle the contractor’s airplanes to maintenance.

    Now, United and Delta both give Skywest a little bit of latitude in this department. Their relationship with DL and UA go back 30 years. Alaska and Skywest are only in bed because of the problems at Horizon and to keep pressure on the Horizon pilot union that they aren’t guaranteed any work and Alaska will look outside the family to keep costs down.

    I agree. I don’t like them either.

    Park a DC-3, a Ford Tri-Motor and a couple of Beech D-18s underneath them and you’ll really have something!
