My question/concerns are;
Will those who are really in charge of the regionals--legacy airline management--do anything to remedy the current compensation/career progression model?
Or are they intentionally sitting on their hands to let the current situation get so catastrophic that the government will give them anything they want, e.g., Multi Crew License, repeal the ATP law, financial incentives?
I think it should absolutely be a matter of public record and a highlighted issue before our congress, that the method of attracting new pilots and mechanics was to force more concessions on such those groups. Management should have to answer to that before they start asking the government for leniency or handouts.
