Because they think they're winning the battle with the union by doing so. Endgame - that's apparently their goal. We have 40% fewer pilots, half as many airplanes, basically the same costs, far less efficiency and revenue generation potential, but man we're killing the pilots from a management perspective. What a f'ing joke this company is. We used to have 5+ guppies a day SFO-EUG, SFO-MFR, SFO-SLC, etc, all mostly full. Now we have 4-5 RJ's that can't haul a load. 600 seats to 200 seats per day. Heck, I tried to get out of PHX to DEN the other day on a Sunday and our last flight left at 1700. Between 1700 and midnight there were an additional 7 flights by other airlines - all 100% full. UFB.
