Yes it is management. They took a tiny turboprop airline and expanded it into a huge, mostly jet fleet during a time of rapid growth at the regionals. They took a gamble on the embraer product, and it payed off. Their success of the last decade has made them cocky and devoted to a way of doing business. They are unable to adapt to a changing industry. Management sees labor as merely a cost, and not an asset. They fight us tooth & nail on anything that improves our quality of life, because they only see the cost in it. You know that old expression "stepping over a dime to save a nickel"? That should be our corporate motto. Nothing will change until our top two executives are gone. They set the tone for the entire company. Air Wisconsin would be a great choice for PHL, and I have heard good things about Commutair. Good luck to you.
