Do they also do the metering?
There’s no literal defined answer anywhere, unless you talk to someone who is very high up in the departments that handle this. At this level, all you’ll hear are opinions, and there’s a lot of different ones out here.
MY observation, and a common one amongst others… is mostly yes. And that applies for really any regional. A legacy usually won’t pull from a regional operation that helps their overall operation. SKW is unique in that it operates for all big 3, so that kinda creates a bit of “metering” from them all, opposed to a regional that operates for just 1 carrier and you can bounce to the other 2 easily because they don’t mind pulling from a competitors regional operation.
Long story short, MY observation… yeah, there is a LITTLE BIT.
