What regional is offering increased contractual rates to attract pilots right now? Sounds like SKW is fighting that tooth and nail too-with the management prefferrinf to park planes than pay more per contract. I'm not sure if part of this is to prevent mainline pilots from getting more leverage to increase their pay...
PS The ONLY people believed in the ETD were management. Pilots from any carrier saw that as a disaster.
