AA warns Mesa
https://www.google.com/amp/s/skift.com/2019/02/05/american-airlines-warns-one-of-its-regional-airlines-to-improve/amp/
AA warns Mesa to boost its performance, but doesn’t expect to pay anymore for a better product.
The Big 3 expect all regionals to be on par with mainline in performance, reliability and product. “The Big Three increasingly want passengers to see regional partners as an extension of their brands, both for reliability and onboard product.”
They expect regional pilots to be motivated and happy to be ‘extensions’ of their brand, with a salary of 1/3 of their mainline partners and treated like second class citizens for doing the same job.

This is a long-standing dynamic between DP and JO. Went through the same thing back in the Cactus days.
YV tries to get away with murder, DP reels them in occasionally. YV is probably too valuable as a (low) bar-setter and bogey-man for the other regionals to actually fire them. Cockroach analogy.
