I'm guessing their salary and benefits costs would be in addition to any money paid to the airline for EAS?
Actually, PRC is one of our busier destinations. If I'm not mistaken, Horizon flies a Dash in there as well. Seems like we usually have around 15 to 19 people on our weekend flights to/from PRC/ONT. And seriously, you don't even want to get me started on the TSA at PRC. If the pilots are not "monitored" at all times by TSA or our station agents while in the terminal, we have to go back through TSA screening. Seems pretty pointless since when we started our morning, we never went through screening and could have loaded the plane up with all kinds of illegal items. If I get furloughed again, I'm headed for a TSA job. Can't wait to be a mindless drone making over twice what I make now to start.
