Would love to see BofA match the CSP/SCR with a card of their own, with transferable points to AS.

Has anyone heard about Horizon cancelling flights due to a shortage of pilots on the Q400? Gary Leff wrote about this morning in blog. Suppose to be August to September effecting Seattle/Portland/Boise/Sacramento

Tom, that was a yes/no question You didn't answer with a yes or no.

So sorry. "Yes."

wonder if part of the reason is transitioning pilots to the 175's ? Oh well

Notice in the ten years blog post:

I take it that means the test is over. Like small plates.

Completely unrelated and with apologies to Daphne DuMaurier, last night I dreamed of AA. I had a F boarding pass but after some delay in getting beverage service, I somehow ended up in coach and fell asleep. I woke up on landing to CLT without getting back to my original seat. Very disappointing as it was a lie-flat too.

I noticed on my mobile BP that if I clicked on the electronic bag tag it shows the bag number. I was not part of any test, I just assumed that now if you check a bag you can use the mobile BP as a place to store the bag tag number automatically

I am not sure how everyone else feels about this pilot shortage at Horizon but I have about had it. In the recent few weeks I continue to get flight change notices and at times the same damn flights change and then changed again, this sucks especially when it concerns long time reservations for overseas vacations. I generally booked out for many regular flights now I am being hammered.

There have been several articles regarding this complete mismanagement of Horizon and frankly the top should be fired for this and the "knee jerk" reactions by them. There is no damn excuse for what is happening. I have a friend who is a senior captain at one of the freight haulers and he tells me they have been hiring pilots away from Horizon two just started.

I wonder just wonder if the wheels are coming off AS? This rapid expansion, Virgin purchase just to keep pace with DL. The problem AS has it does not have the infrastructure DL has.

And oh, has anyone noticed how dirty these planes are getting?

One can not make this up, 10 minutes after I wrote that last post in comes yet another schedule change! THEN I just got hit with another one that their suggestive change as totally unacceptable which I told the agent I was connecting to an international flight out of SFO one does not allow just an hour leeway between scheduled arrival in and international out at SFO.

Is this ever going to end? Maybe if they get a new CEO at Horizon

Made the first and only seat assignments on a 739 only four months out. I think that's the first time I've seen a completely empty seat map when booking.

Also bizarrely, there's a guy riding a bike down the alley in front of me, miles from any airport, but wearing a AA ground crew reflective vest with the old logo.

I'd be avoiding ANY QX flights (except those out of ANC) for the forseeable future.

Too late!

I've had 2, 4-hour+ flights this week where several people in First did not stop talking the whole flight.

Ugh. Even noise cancelling headphones is not helping.

WARNING HORIZON is changing and then yet again changing trips that flights are being dropped etc. I went into "my trips" today to discover that one of my trips (four flights) was dropped out of "My trips" and when the agent restored it a leg ( important one I might add) was totally eliminated ! It took sometime to get this resolved.

KEEP CHECKING your advance reservations it's getting weird at Horizon and it seems one can not totally rely on them presently. Maybe they will get a new CEO.
