Regionals were never meant to be a career destination.

Unfortunately regionals will never be career destinations as long as the FFD model exists and the name of the airline on the side of the plane doesn’t match your pay stub. Your future always hinges on the mainline carrier you’re tied to not Compass’ing you.

No they weren’t. However, when stagnation hits and stops movement for a decade it kinda changes things for some. The nail in the coffin often comes at the expense of contract improvements. When the regional becomes too expensive for their partners they start looking for cheaper contract lift. All the premier regionals, ha if there is such a thing, are gone. I think that the main reason Skywest doesn’t want a union is so they can compare contracts an offer something in the middle. It keeps them from out pricing themselves out of business

You realize everything you just said supports the anti-Skywest argument, right? Maybe that was your point.

When is the last flight today?
