Any company that was and probably still is OK with having camping trips on dirty airplanes, providing their work force with 8 days off so they could overwork them like livestock and insult them and others by saying they are some of the highest paid regional pilots should have been gone long ago.
No camping trips (haven't had them in nearly 3 years), planes are for the most part clean, lineholders get 11 days off, rsv: 10.
Rick is more accurate than your sources.
