Are you suggesting that George and John weren't?

I'm not trying to rationalize or justify pay rates or managements. I'm just trying to point out the cold hard truth of math, and the math really sucks. I get that. I just see way too many people on this forum think a magic wand can be waved and everything would be better. At the end of the day, the math and accounting have to work.
Skywest Brasilia rates aren't subsidized by the CRJ, we make money on the plane. If we didn't make money on it, we wouldn't fly it.
