The not-so-glamorous domestic work is ~ 78% of our flying. If that were increased by 16%, then it would drive more hiring.
Please explain how block hours could be an improvement going forward.
Also, "statistically nothing for the time being." There's that rearward looking data supporting the future "we didn't think they'd do that."
Hub to hub longer distance rj flying is a leverage killer too. SEA still not a hub. Bar, wake up, drink coffee, whatever it takes. Your idealism is grossly outgunned.
