Because that's not what you're doing. Some of us are a little tired of seeing our flying given away to you guys because you're cheaper. I have no resentment for the SkyWest pilots, I know several of them and they're all good guys. But if you're serious about raising the bar for everyone, a good place to start would be to not erode the flying of a carrier who pays second-year FO's 40 bucks an hour to fly a Dash-8.

I do not root for SkyWest to fail, but the "raising the bar" comment isn't entirely accurate. I don't root for any single regional to fail. It would be nice if they all failed together, simultaneously. Haha.
