At least in-house you can control it better. Living wage for FO's, six-figures for CA's and reasonable work rules. If that means that it's no longer economical to provide service to podunk falls, then the podunkians can either pay what the service is worth or take the bus. Greyhound can hire the regional pilots who don't make the cut...same job but no leadership or interpersonal skills required.
