Of course it hurts recruiting. Skywest just by virtue of their bases get hundreds of more applicants.
They missed their hiring numbers last year. They missed it in January. This is the first month they have meet their goal. It is still unlikely they will hit their yearly numbers.

Except we aren't talking about JetBlue, VA, Allegiant or Delta or Spirit. We are talking about Compass, Skywest, Endeavor, Republic, PSA, GoJet, Mesa, etc. Great, you live in Detroit, most people who aren't from Michigan don't want to live in Detroit. That hurts recruiting. New hires still can't afford NY, that hurts recruiting. That is the point, not that your home is garbage.
