Dl has been hiring SkyWest pilots for decades. The “deal making” came about when the company unilaterally reinterpreted 23.m.7. It wouldn’t be happening without that. I personally have not seen any deal making from the skywest pilots I know here and I know/fly with a bunch.
and as far as deal making there, it’s just different rules for scheduling there. It’s not deal making as much as it is just playing by a different set of rules. Plenty of things are perfectly legal there that are against the PWA here.
