That's regular businesses. Not regional airlines with unionized work forces that don't have any real product to offer since they are just contracted out.

If it was easier to do so, you would see a new regional start up every 5 years, the others shutting down every 5. Just like they do with contract stations for rampers/gate agents. We saw regionals handling their own planes, they got paid too much after 20-30 years, then other regional carriers took over with the lowest bidders winning, then regional elite undercut them, now DGS. All of them using the same equipment, just mostly new people, or the same people who took massive pay cuts.

I highly doubt any pilot has or will ever hear how long INC has given BH to get things up to speed. But when you have XJT, Eagle, and RAH with a combined 10,000+ pilots making a unified NO voice heard to concessions, that speaks volumes to every management team out there. (Assuming RAH votes no today).
