They thought pilots would flock to crappy flying and pay even after they greatly eroded the value of progression to the majors. Mgmt never had a plan to follow up the 50 seaters other than scope concessions and cheap labor. Any relief we give them now would probably just help them lower the RJ industry into its grave. Its just another temporary fix to management's blunders we should leverage to the max. JMO, OFG
