Because of many factors, yes crew pay being a very small overall factor, RAH WILL likely be able to compete on a cost basis; crew::airplane ratio, huge economies of scale with the E-Jets, et cetera.
Life and Capitalism are a *****. Here in the US you are not entitled to anything outside your inalienable rights endowed by your Creator. You are given an equal opportunity and that does not mean you are entitled to equal results.
So according to your logic, it's ok if you guys are flying mainline aircraft for 50 seat wages because that's just capitalism and because RAH will eventually lose one or two partners anyways!!! Are you a member of BB's church, I mean management? Or are you just happy watching your career progression and profession fade away?
What you should be doing is asking that hypocrite CEO of yours for mainline wages on the 190's and seniority integration to avoid whipsaw. But hey, keep on defending Bedford's actions in the name of capitalism, one of these days it will be your job he comes after, and it might put things in perpective for you.
