You gotta pay your fair share to our indigent, and they do deserve the fruits of your labor. 54% total tax rate is in your future.
If I lived in California I would just stay on the Bro or CRJ. People who want to live on the East coast will take the 175 if those are the bases. Skywest has a lot of domiciles. No one here is going to commute from California to the East coast just to earn a few extra dollars per hour. I make more money holding a solid line on the Bro than I would on reserve on the RJ anyway.
