Now you are being outsourced and your butt is hurt. SkyWest may get outsourced to even cheaper feed. Maybe ALPA and APA should have done a better job two decades ago regarding scope...Give it a rest. Comair and ACA got totally replaced. Horizon and other high cost regionals may follow in their steps.
