I cant tell if you're disappointed or surprised? I think you've been in this regional game longer than me, but every time I've seen a situation come up where a company could do the right thing they almost never do. From an economics standpoint you're asking them to spend more money so see it from their eyes.... why would they? The regionals have always operated on a who can do it cheaper model and still make acceptable profits, sadly us pilots are not in the drivers seat in regards to bargaining for better pay. We've been able to cover all the attrition with new hires and it honestly doesn't appear to be swinging the other direction anytime soon. If IAH closes that will just help the staffing model that much more and we already know that we have flying not being renewed. I don't see us having a leg to bargain for raises due to staffing anytime soon. If you want a pay raise you'll have to leave and go somewhere else, otherwise accept the mess were in and deal with it. I hate that this is the case just as much as anyone else, but I'm over getting bent out of shape about it.
