It’s not just air wisconsin. It’s every business. Try running one and then when customers stop showing up try to keep paying your staff to sit around and do nothing. Good luck.

Actually some of us did own/run businesses and understand that people make a company’s success which is why this is infuriating.

It may be frustrating, but the reality of this market leaves few options. You could have the best employees in the industry and want to keep them loyal and productive, but when the source of revenue gets gutted, the ability to meet those goals gets gutted as well. It’s going to be a rough road. With UAX flying restricted to less than UA NB block, as the industry recovers, the bulk of the UAX lift will be focused on the 175’s, and the remainder trickled down the line. A company only operating 200’s will have a different ability to recall and eventually attract pilots than one that exclusively flys 175’s.

Wasn’t there this thing that came out of the crew room about us getting miraculous shiny new 175s?

It's a plausible story that makes a great cover for the right hand while the left hand is stashing away all that gubmint cheese.
