@AirlineFlyer So you probably won't hear much from me here for awhile. Apologies, and thank you for being a very valuable follower. I appreciate what you do to help inform about all things aviation. Cheers!
@AirlineFlyer Hi Jason,
I started this account at the height of the repainting process, and I really made it to track that progress. Now the focus is mods into new interiors, but unfortunately I'm not "inside" enough to know information about that progress.
#N559AS, the Salmon-Thirty-Salmon II plane, is headed to AMA for repaint. It is the last Alaska plane to feature the classic logo font. After paint, the entire fleet will feature the new logo design. #alaskaairlines#boeing737
The Dash 8/Q400 fleet is officially retired. There are now no more turboprop aircraft in active service for Alaska Airlines, nor by any regional airline for any of the major U.S. airlines.
@AlaskaFleet Here is 421’s final two days. Operating the last revenue flight before repo’ing to Portland Thursday night after it lands from GEG in SEA.
The final Dash 8 flight for Horizon is Flight 2400 on 1/26 from Spokane to Seattle. That flight is apparently sold out, unsurprisingly. #alaskaairlines#horizonair#dash8
As of today, only 3 Dash-8 aircraft are in scheduled service: N421QX (QX Retro), N435QX (UW Huskies), and N453QX (the youngest airframe, delivered 2015). 421 was scheduled to ferry to VCV tomorrow but was canceled and is still scheduled through at least 1/13. #alaskaairlines
Four additional Dash-8s have been flown to Sault Ste. Marie (YAM): N403QX, N404QX, N412QX and N452QX. Likely fleet removal, though heavy checks are done there as well for DH8D's. N402QX has been there since Aug 3. #alaskaairlines#horizonair#dash8
@AirlineFlyer Hi Jason! Actually I'm not affiliated with that website, though I had discussed joining them at one time. I noticed the site was down as well. It might be permanent, sadly, based on what I'd heard before. Sorry.
@GregHorn27 Please contact Alaska directly about this. This is a fan account and I am not associated with the company. Use the chat or other options at https://t.co/9ST6zrd3HF to get in touch with the right people. Thank you.
