The bubble you are living in is thinking that regional CPAs can pay what they did in their heyday when mainline carriers couldn't get their hands on enough RJ flying and paid top dollar for those CPAs. In addition, CalExp/XJT had the added benefit of being the exclusive feed for CAL. Both of those days are long gone. Instead of being a shortage of RJ feed and an exclusive operator, there is now a surplus of RJ feed and you are one of many subcontractors vying for that shrinking business.
The real amazing part is how many of you can't see that and still think this is the same FFD business as it was 15 years ago.
