i would categorize a staple as mainline cleaning up the mess.
making the model work without regional feed is an enormous problem… i agree. That does not make LCA’s and Captains grow on trees.
the fundamental issue here is whether a FFD model is cheaper than all-mainline. (Short-term or long-term may be different answers). Mainline will use regionals until they stop saving money.
IIRC the current APA contract has crj900 rates. Maybe they bring it in house.
A WO merger might have worked 5 years ago. They don’t have time to pull it off now. Three unions, three types, a half dozen bases … that will take a couple years to integrate and it doesn’t change the three-week half-life of an LCA
Edit: regarding pay and attrition. There’s some pilot-pay tipping point where mainline makes more sense. Idk where that is but probably much higher than what you need to keep people from leaving for mainline

PSA is gonna have an LCA mutiny. Critical Coverage pays more and they can never trade into it because they all have locked schedules.
No LCA wants to make less to instruct.
They’ll pay you 125% as long as you commit to forfeit all opportunities for 150% which will be regular in the middle of a national RJ pilot shortage.

That said, the LCA situation at AA is very different.
