That is not how I see it. Mesa's CBA was soooooo bad that the company didn't even go after it in Ch11, they have been the lowest of the low for a long time now. Compass had a decent amount of leverage to at least match SKW and XJT in this last contract but opted for binding arbitration, why? Instead that received minimal gains and still have one of the lowest pilot cost per seat mile of any FFD carrier. Republic voted no but pilots continued to flock their from 2004-2012 to fly the mighty 170, maybe now they will finally start having serious staffing issues. SkyWest just agreed to a cost neutral agreement that has the 175 being flown for cheaper rates than the CR9 and they have horrible PBS language and scheduling rules. PSA has the best scheduling system of any FFD including LXJT (I would know as I was there for a long time). The SAP allows almost anyone to drop down to 65 hrs and get a lot of time off or pick back up and easily make over 100 credit hours a month, it might even be the most pilot friendly system in the industry. Enjoy your awesome new PBS system and Ch11 contract, I can see why your QOL is so bad. So keep picking on PSA while they make more money with more time off than Envoy, Mesa, Compass, Republic, and many other carriers that you defend.
