Be nice if you regional sheep would focus on your real problem - ALPA. If you put some effort into forcing ALPA, who claims to have political pull, to change the Railway Act life would change immediately. Sort of ironic the retirement age gets raised to 65, but the 4 year contract renegotiations continue. Wonder who benefits from all that conflict? (For those of you in Memphis - it would be ALPA.)

For the record I think the Skywest folks have proved they make more money and have a better QOL then the 9E's will ever have all without the ALPA tax.
