Kinda a side topic, but anyone heard anything about what OO is doing with the FA (and I assume pilot) lawsuit requiring breaks be given during the day/night? A buddy at Alaska told me the Supreme Court has denied all appeals and its now mandatory that FAs be given rostered meal breaks and off the airport if they desire. Last I heard sometime back, OO was even playing with the idea of downsizing California bases or the like to avoid having to be affected by the suit.
Just curious!

Skywest Regional Pay
Does Skywest have any incentives to make their pay competitive with The American Wholly Owned now that they are almost 1/2 of the highest paying regional per hour in year 1? I mean 47 vs 90 an hour is massive! One would imagine that eventually they would run out of pilots given the identical requirements to apply to Skywest as their competitors. Or can they continue to pay as low as they do forever?
