You're missing the point, the "Wichita analogy" does not apply. In Wichita they laid off employees because they weren't selling any airplanes. A regional airline with written contracts that have penalties for poor performance and cancellations will not just throw their hands in the air and start parking dozens of aircraft, rather than raise inadequate compensation to attract and retain pilots. Parking the airplanes would cost them, and their precious shareholders far more than any raises for flight crews.
