because their union negotiated it, same reason Delta offers 200% open time not 150%

100% CXL pay. Has been that way since their contract in 2015

4.2/ day like skywest but unlike skywest it applies to reserves as well. Same with their trip and duty rigs (same rigs as OO, they just apply to everyone)

Wasn't a wave of attrition, but maybe a small number of more expensive captains got a fire lit under their arses and they finally moved on. That actually is what Chip wants, cause he can replace a $130 per hour captain with a $75 captain and save money in the long run.
When I was still at OO I had a conversation about this with my friends who went to RAH. Also at some point around early 2018 one of skywest’s pilots made a excel document with a contract comparison RAH vs OO and put it on the FB page. They blew us out of the water on soft pay type stuff. If you are able to find that I think it would be eye opening.
