When someone else will always do your job for a cheaper price, they will always be the ones who will be chosen to do so. Long gone are the days when quality actually matters. Management simply doesn't care any more.
You talk like the goal is to make regional airlines stronger. But that's a dumb goal. The goal should be to put them all out of business. The quicker these regional airlines fail, the better off we all are.
Your hypocrisy is outrageous. You acknowledge someone doing your job for a cheaper price is wrong, but yet you work for a regional airline and perpetuate the very same condition in which you supposedly are upset with.
All of you, every one of you, need to start pointing the finger at yourself before you point it at others. You are not above this crap, you are neck deep in it.
Regionals are all going to fail, some very quickly some will be the last. But they are going to fail, its a mathematical certainty. You want to slowly remove the bandaid or just rip it off, the choice is yours.
