So percentage wise they are close, but in numbers is different.
TSA only had about 7,000 sched flights.

Maybe CEO pilot cares but shareholders don't. They care about return. What gets you a bigger return? Cheap outsourced labor.

Try and imagine the last few years from an Eagle pilot perspective. We were the only regional for American and were run much more like a mainline airline as far as money spent on the operation to keep things running smoothly. We helped build the Eagle brand into a reliable name with the help of money from the parent company. We took pride in it.
Since the bankruptcy, that name has been taken and farmed out to the lowest bidders, including Envoy which is becoming a shell of its former self. I don't think we're much better than any other regional at this point, other than the fact that being wholly owned may pay off in the future.
However, for right now, AAG will just keep managing to keep the stock price up for one quarter at a time. That's what's rewarded in the marketplace these days. It's sad, really.
