No, the real problem is marketing runs the airline day to day, week to week, month to month, and year to year.
The marketing department wants their pilots to be available for work in the same manner as a migrant farm worker picking strawberries in california. Once the harvest is picked marketing will "call you up" back up to the A team around Thanksgiving and then at Christmas. The rest of the time they'll have their RJ's flying it.
Pilots now are nothing more than migrant farm workers with wings.
It must stop.
