Lets have casual Fridays here...we can all dress up as a band of Amish walking through the door. Amish can drive tractors as long as they have steel wheels, right?
And you're right. with more technology...I know one that is pretty cheap and even they invested in EFBs and computerized scheduling 7+ years ago. Even ahead of the majors.
Technology at ABX lol. Management is too busy pounding their fist threatening if pilots don't meet their demands they will furlough! Real airlines hire management with proven track records and an ability to plan for the future adapt to changes and progress with the times.
Management styles that are effective don't not try to beat employees down. Many studies have shown threats don't produce, yet that's all they know. Instead ATSG stands by their guys letting 50% of the pilots quit, making others want to retire early and alot of the rest seek jobs elsewhere. The rest grow hatred for the company.
