The first Horizon E175 isn't due until sometime nexy year. SkyWest is operating them for AS already, though, but I don't think there's any listing of routes by aircraft type. I can say that they're used on a lot of intra-west coast flights like PDX-BUR and SJC-SNA, as well as a lot of mid-cons out of Portland like PDX-AUS and PDX-MCI.

Spoke with a 12-year QX flight attendant who said the E175's will be used on new routes and the Q400s are sticking around to serve the routes they already do. Not sure if that's accurate but it will be disappointing if it is.

The E175 launch is going to coincide with the retirement of some of the oldest Q400s, so there's going to be some route takeover by the Embraers.

They all do actually, with the exception of SBP, which is a new city for Alaska. Horizon will be replacing Skywest on these routes - not sure what the plan is for the planes Skywest flies on behalf of Alaska.

That would be exceedingly disappointing for those of us who have to deal with the 500+ mile Q400 flights. The E75s are more economically efficient than Q400s over 400 miles but they're still going to fly them on 618 mile SEA-STS? Or 543 mile PDX-OAK, where there is plentiful 737 competition.

It's not like AS and a new 739. This is a new aircraft type, and requires substantially more training for pilots and even FA's
I'm sure they're excited though aside from having a F cabin

Is PDX-DFW AS' longest E75 route?
