We could kill that stranglehold instantly with a flow to Southwest or United or FedEx or UPS.
Why is everyone so damn chicken**** at the regionals? We do the same job, in worse conditions for half the pay and benefits... yes we fly smaller jets by 20%; but get paid half... enough of this
Chicken my a$$. It's called at least having half a brain and looking back at history (Comair) and understanding simple economics. The only way we as a regional can pull off what you're suggesting is if the entire regional sector would band together and fight as one. But we don't have much of a chance when groups like Skywest do what they did. That's the reason the whipsaw exists
