No doubt I'm happy for them. But meanwhile the East Coast regionals incessantly squabble and fight for contracts/airplanes/(now pilots?) when skywest is out there stuffing their face and doing a damn good job for the passengers and airline partners.
Just an observation. (You may now cannibalize me)
No canibalizing needed... I have friends there and although their SAPA isn't Alpa, and their contract isn't quite what ours is, their lines always seem to be more efficient, their culture seems happier, and they've got business coming out their ears. I wish we could pick up on some of their magic, whatever it may be...
