Skywest v2.0

It usually doesn't work that way. Airlines generally need three flights / day to absorb the overhead of station costs (maybe two flights on Tue & Sat).
Pax prefer frequency and most small-town pax are connecting. They are not going to take one daily flight to the hub at 0600 and then wait around for a connection at 1700. Frequency is one of the key reasons we have so many RJ's to begin with.
If the airlines can't make it work with RJ's (up to maybe 100 seats), then they'll just drop service to Podunk Falls (unless congress steps in with more EAS).

How much extra flying can we do with our 4,000 pilots than the other regionals? At least 2-3% more with our credit vs block. Not to mention the fact that we get our schedules loaded to the max and require less reserves since we have no contractual protections that cost the company more money. (like other airlines under the Inc umbrella) We can do more flying for less money because we continually look at pay rates during negotiations and miss all the QOL items that other regionals have. Little things like commuter hotels and parking passes add up to big savings for the company. Then they take 6% of all those savings and let us split it between the 4,000 of us. Why anyone would be excited to have more pilots to split the profit sharing is beyond me.
Ol' Skippy is just dropping the same fear bomb they launched as SAPA was selling us our pay package. I can't believe any of us would think they would be perfectly fine shrinking our airline because they can't afford to give us a higher min day or reserve rules. I'll be happy with whatever number of pilots that finally allows me to drop or trade a trip after 2 years of working 90+ hours each month.

SkyWest Airlines Announces Partnership with ATP Flight School
11k for all new hires coming from ATP.
I'd say the new pay talks should be interesting.

The people who don't get hired by majors will move up at the regional as others do though. Movement is good for everyone even if they're staying at a regional.

It's all about multi time.
This should be extended to all new hires (really all previously hired too), and not just to those who decided to pay extra for their ratings.
Seriously. 11k for everybody.
