If a wholly owned carrier can handle the commitment of flying that a contract carrier is flying, then AAG will have a WO carrier take it. AAG gets to hold on to a larger cut of the profit with a WO carrier than having it farmed out. BUT....the big question mark is staffing at the WO.
Big time. Good points. I’d like to remind everyone that tsa blowing it and airwhisky telling aag to stuff it were not expected. If the wholly owned are at capacity or overcommitted now then why take flying from someone that is holding in there like compass is. Unless I’m wrong and they aren’t.

If you think AAG cares only about performance, then you're kidding yourself. ie look at MESA. The sh|ttiest performance out there. It all comes down to money when it's all said and done. If AAG can get performance out of one carrier while doing as good or better, then they'll do it. i.e...operating 175s through a WO vs a contract carrier. Well...AAG is gonna do what's best for AAG. Hint...AAG holds onto far greater profits by operating flights through its WOs vs. its contract carriers.

I'm also curious where Mesa's performance figures are coming from. They're operating out of places where weather and ATC delays are mostly unheard of. I would be surprised if their on-time percentage wasn't higher than ours.

I have zero hard evidence of this but I believe the common reason people claim their performance sucks is due mostly to maintenance.

Future...I'll tell you the future. That future is grim. All regionals will die. Further down the road most middle class jobs including the pilot profession will vanish. Their won't be enough jobs to go around and people will starve. That is what my fortune cookie told me today! That's all I gotta say about that.
