You on the inside want to believe that they are in it for the long term, but in reality, as long as they can run the operation from month to month, at this point, that is what they are looking for.

In fact, quitting may help them to succeed as they are counting on a steady flow of bright-eyed, bushy tailed new hire pilots who are "happy to be out of the regional ranks" to keep the contract at arms length and have a get-it-done mentality for the operation despite mx concerns and operational shortcomings.

They really appear to have found a sweet spot of "just better than a regional" but much cheaper than a major airline to run operationally.
Best of Luck,
