Just because they are new to G4 doesn't mean they don't know what's going on.

Rookie was probably a metaphor and a poor choice of words. I don't think he or anyone else sees regional guys as rookies these days. Most G4 pilots come from regionals and if the company thinks the regional guys it hired are going to cave on a crappy TA, they're in for a nasty surprise. I believe the company hires regional pilots because they're highly qualified and available.
Second, I think to state that the company has any sort of plan is a stretch. The G4 pilot website has only embolden the pilot group and made our case stronger. Decisions like these show how unaware they are of the situation.

taking over major operations posts. Not just a bad fit, but still being asked to fill in on their current positions. G4 shuffle.
