And when I say that I am not bagging on the people who work their. Simply, the way the business model is set up these folks have absoloutley zero reason to have any loyalty or reason to care. Between pay work rules and every other facet of the contract regional world there is zero incentive to give a crop.

Never mind how UAL treats the express carrier and their employees.

I flew three different paint jobs at 2 different FFD carriers. UAX at both. Needless to say, UAL ran the crappiest outsourced operation. Pre 9/11, during the BK-Dark Decade, AND after.

CAL was "unique" in that prior to 2007, they controlled 100% of their RJ feed and paid them a lot to do it. The "product" was much more streamlined than having a bunch of contracted/outsourced vendors left to their own devices.

Really? Wow. Thanks for the insight and epiphany.

I posted an idiotic comment to match the idiotic comments I've been reading on this thread... seemed appropriate.
