It's a top down management issue. Amateur hour from the very top of the organization. One of my sim partners at mainline was ex-PSA, huge difference in quality of the individual between him and the better commuters in my class. My old company always said they hired for attitude, I can see where they are coming from now. Republic is similar to PSA in that regard, although they have less problems with it.

XJT & ASA, AWAC, Mesaba, & Eagle guys are tops IMO. Always have been. I hope as many as possible can find jobs outside of their 4 year reserve stints. They deserve them.
