Sure……. It's called a dynamic industry, one in which you must continually evolve in order to stay alive. The SkyWest of today is not the same mom and pop, open door airline that used to truly work together to accomplish its goals as it once was. Today it is evolving into an inferior airline, compared to what it once was, and can no longer sustain that close / personal family culture; it's just too big and getting bigger. Looking at the SkyWest of today it must cut cost in order to remain competitive with airlines like Gojet and Compass and maintaining two completely separate operations increases overhead. It must be integrated and it's better to do it sooner rather than later.
I'm not calling your pilots toxic but you're not from the family and don't understand. There's a reason SkyWest is the most successful subcontractor in the US but they must evolve and simply put they will be unable to maintain the culture that made them so great.
