Now we are into the root of the problem - the Big 3s obsession with low pilot costs and cheap cheap feed.
The bottom line is Bedford overplayed his hand, the pilots called the bluff.
I couldn't agree with you more! Everyone blames the regionals, but fail to see why they're pushed to operate at such low costs and minimal profit margins. It's everyone's fault, not just one group. Especially with all of the "fines" for not operating within the performance numbers of their contract, it makes it even harder to do well.
