Republic's current contract is better than this proposal and they aren't going out of business.

I wouldn't say there has been a complete lack of QOL improvements. With one the last TRs, we can get a hotel in base after a cancel or reflow, regardless of the layover length (previously it wasn't possible unless your next trip started in less than 12 hours, or if you convinced crew support to ask RG to approve one). We're also moving from the Surface to iPad soon, which actually has a usable modem.
Sure, protection for commuters hasn't gotten any better (and probably never will), but I live in my base, so none of that really concerns me to be honest.

This industry is completely different now. Flying does not go to the lowest bidder, it goes to whoever can staff. Comair was also wholly-owned. You're comparing apples to sauerkraut.

And SKW can staff, that's how they got so huge. Other regionals have failed catastrophically when trying to implement new flying due to staffing issues.

Well to touch on a couple of these items, why would they raise MDG when us and Republic are the only two carriers at 4:12 everyone else in the industry is lower. Endeavor is 4:00.
Most of the regionals don't have a trip rig, but all of them that do have 1:4, so it's not like our trip rig is lagging behind the industry.
Maybe it is because I flew for a different regional prior to coming here, but if you went and did some time there, it would be a major eye opener for you.

I believe TSA has 4:25 for MDG.
