It does end. It ends when your company is replaced by a cheaper one. When they want cheaper feed, they will replace your carrier with a cheap one. The main reason ASA, Comair and even Eagle are more costly is the highly senior work force. But don't think that just demanding they raise ticket prices to better compensate us regional peon will make that happen. I will guarantee you one thing, if ASA/XJT got big raises and costly QOL enhancements....they will be replaced by Mesa, GoJets, Colgan, etc in a heartbeat! It's not what you want or think you are worth.....it's what the market will bear!
