I'm sorry to anyone who thinks we're going to somehow "raise the bar" at regionals by pricing ourselves out of business, but this is a fundamental truth of the regional airline business that will never change unless:

1) We somehow have a national seniority list (never gonna happen)

or

2) We extricate airlines from the railway labor act (prob never gonna happen)

Anyone who doesn't understand the above is in for the same sore awakening we got at Pinnacle/Endeavor when we got our fancy new contract. I assume the same would be true for Comair, and very soon Eagle, unfortunately.
