Since 2001 they have had their pick of the litter and been able to use and abuse pilots, today their supply has dried up. The management skills from the previous decade will no longer work. But they refuse to change. They are hoping that this regional pilot shortage is temporary. Sadly we all know who will be the victims here. They will get their million dollar retirements. And we will get more of this mis-management at the mainline level. Where there is no shortage.
