We are not talking about risk. We are addressing that a SkyWest deal “good” for 4 years is as solid as a 5 year olds allowance, it can go away any time SkyWest decides they don’t need to pay it to keep pilots.
The entire Regional pay raises is a stop gap that will go away as quickly as it came, once hiring slows at the legacy carriers. But don’t get me wrong, I love it right now for the lack of applicants coming to Spirit.
As a legacy pilot, I wouldn’t be too happy that management is giving historic raises to regional feed while they drag their behinds at the legacy level
