I find it ironic that we call it a race to the bottom when our industry was created on being the bottom. We are subcontractors so anyone who tries to claw their way to respectable compensation will be replaced by lower cost subcontractors. That's the industry the regionals operate in; we need to understand that because it will never change. Mainline needs feed and you can’t fault them for playing the game in order to keep the cost of their feed as low as possible.
