Are you flying routes for your parent company? Or are you flying contract routes that would/should be flown by the owned regional of the manline airline?

if you are not flying the first part, then you are part of the problem, not the solution. As long as outside subcontractors can get pilots and abuse them to save a buck, then mainlines will always contract them for some portion of the flying to use as a whipsaw. If you can not see that my friend, then you've been drinking the koolaid too long.
