Unfortunately, this is a bad precedent to set imo, but in the board room, it makes sense. After the transaction, no one at PDT or PSA lost their job...I do believe
I don't want anyone to lose their job but you would think being a wholly owned carrier would have some benefits. We did furlough a couple years back as more flying was given to AWAC and other regionals. When allegheny/PDT merged we operated over 100 dash 8's. Were now at 44 and shrinking rapidly without replacement aircraft in sight. So yeah there is a little but of bad sentiment when our parent companies would rather give to other carriers than their own blood.... Would u be a little bitter if your parents left their inheritance to your cousin instead of you?
