Sad, but f-ing true.
For now. Look at Mesaba for an example of a regional "restaffing." They chased a lot of pilots off, then grew with new hires. SkyWest does a little of that with ASA by shuffling jets and forcing pilots to lose longevity as they chase the flying around. We saw several pilots chase flying from ACA to, Comair, to ASA, to SkyWest.
These regionals are simply the
flavor of the day and when management wants to they simply destroy a job at one certificate
and create a new hire "opportunity"
at another airline within the brand.
