Nice try, but SkyWest & ExpressJet pilots are among the highest compensated with leading work rules in the DCI portfolio. Pilot costs are not the only costs at work in SkyWest RFP bids. Until SKYW pilots take concessions that undercut GoJet, Republic, or Pinnacle you can't say they are "leading the race to the bottom". They are in fact leading the pilot pattern bargaining (In ExpressJet's case; no contract for SkyWest obviously) despite zero support.
