No one wants to rock the boat and take a chance of falling out of said boat.in the mean time the company continues to do exactly what it wants with little or no concern from pilots. The irony is, in an era where pilots now have choices, they are choosing to go elsewhere for a multitude of reasons, more than a few generated by the companies attitude of "doing whatever they want". The pilots are coming home to roost in other places on an increasing basis. The company isn't used to having pilots who have choices, the ones who are already here are foaming at the mouth to leave and the ones who aren't are looking for a path that minimizes the regional experience.
Anyone who has spent any time on reserve at a regional will attest, that it is a dubious experience on the best of days. The paradigm is shifting and the more agile and reactive regional will capatilize, and the others who dont will be scrambling for staff.....
