Early word is that APA caved on scope and pay. Skimpy raises, loads of 76-seaters and wide-open code sharing. If the early word is accurate, a new sales tour will begin to once again convince the pilots to lick a dogpoop lollipop.......only with frosting this time. 
go back to Eagle.

Industry standard at WN and JB sure isn't outsourcing 76 seats. I'd say the fact that a pilot has been convinced that this is industry standard and a "big win" is a big loss for pilots everywhere.

His statement is true. All the carriers your listing are low cost who aren't big enough to farm out regional flying. Who also do not hop the pond and are NOT legacy carriers. UNITED does farm out 76 seats too. Those carriers also will never reach the size of places like AA or DL.

United, Alaska and Hawaiian are three legacies that don't outsource 76-seat feed.
