OO needs a guaranteed majors pathway, not just a "we will let you interview so long as you never call out sick and good luck if you get an offer" pathway. As another poster said, it seems like OO is right sizing themselves at the moment given the unusual lack of progress in a new TA.

Why can’t you see the connection to your paycheck. Long term? Oh how SGU wants to get back to $25/hour days…….

With a couple decades of perspective on my part, I'm going to say that many or most wet commercials are a weak link in 121. And when they upgrade, they're missing some valuable lessons which most of us learned in 91, 135, or the mil.
135 is not intended to be as safe as 121... and guess what? It's not.

I assume they thought about the liability they are taking on. A Colgan type mishap could be the end of SKYW.

That said, the public get over this type of thing pretty quick. Everyone swore they would never fly on a MAX yet here we are today where 99% couldn't care less.
