There's a lot they could do, though. Plenty of regionals have stuff in their contracts that compensate fairly for wasted time such as sits or lost days or inefficient low credit days - we're on a punitive contract that is intentionally miserable to the pilots, forced on those that preceded us under threat of mass termination.
They could also stop being such petty jerks about attendance, based on the tone of crew room grousing that would do a lot to help morale.
They won't do anything though until it's a dire emergency and they've junior manned every single pilot to the absolute limit. That's the Envoy way.
Being treated like an adult is worth a lot. Unfortunately the mental midgets, RW, RN and especially JE do not understand this (because they are such retards).
Even little improvements like call first/call last list on reserve, JE said it is too complicated and they can never make it work. Even when it was suggested they could just use the turnback list for it. No, too complicated, can't do it.
If they just would understand that you can be cheap, but treat your people well, a lot more pilots would stay. They just do not have the mental capacity to ever understand that. Shame really.
