It's about seniority. ASA has way more people who have been there a long time-and hence, they are more expensive. Just like ACA and Comair..... Once a regional becomes a place that doesn't totally blow, too many people stick around-and pretty soon some other regional undercuts them.
One other component is Skyw's desire to keep the union out.... After seeing this, and given the fact that Lxjt will be shut down eventually, you can bet Skywest pilots will never vote a union in.
Endeavor isn't getting 200s. They are getting -900s and parking -200s.
