Great, instead of using the cheaper wholly-owned airlines and turboprops, they use Air Willy. I want to know how that is cheaper. Not to mention jets aren't meant to cruise at 8000 ft to KGSP or 12000 to KROA, etc. Someday one of them is going to hit a Piper Cub that hasn't any radios or transponder. I won't even get into the fact that PSA flys in and out of non-towered airports or airports with part-time ATC after-hours.

I thought this was hilarious when I read it because I fly a PA-18 Super Cub with no xpdr or radio. 8000 ft? I haven't been over 500' in a few months now. I'm not trying to be mean just saying you don't have to worry about cubs that high. I do see your point though and agree.
