The difference? The 15 year senior guys were pulling in almost $140k/yr and had over 1 and months vacation a year...along with 15-18 days off a month for the 11 months that they DID work...
Alas...the 'glory days' are gone...and comparing what skywest is doing (yes they are -900's but 70 seaters? correct?) is no different than blaming mainline for failing to hold onto the flying. It's done, over with, can't be changed and as such we have to use the cards we've been dealt. The greater time that passes between what "was" and what "is" people will gladly accept larger airplanes because "its whats been done" so to speak. In fact, it's not even the bigger airplanes that upset me, it's the work rules, pay, and QOL that have gone down the tubes.
AMF is hiring street CA's. I wonder if they'd take an ex-regional guy?
