I have a lot of friends at SkyWest and from what they are telling me their vacation PTO is always “denied due to staffing”, as well as swaps and drops. They are captains though. Anyhow what does it matter.....
I was just making the point 121 time is 121 time no matter where you are at especially If you have TPIC. You made it sound like 121 time at SkyWest was somehow better than 121 time at F9. That’s all.

I'm just saying that these bottom barrel models in many industries exist for a reason; because they typically flourish, at least to an acceptable degree.
What you're proposing is "low fares done right." Absolutely true, they would make a killing. My point is: that would take desire, thought, energy, risk taking, and airline (not private equity) businessmanship.
You're talking about what could be. I'm talking about what is. You're giving them the benefit of the doubt that once the current practice no longer works so well, they will suddenly change stripes and become something they are not. They simply don't have what it takes inside of them to do it.
As far as all the new airplanes coming? Just a bigger version of what I fear is here to stay.
As far as no pilots to fly them? We'll get a new contract, and it will be the minimal give they have to give to bring in just barely the required level of candidate with the necessary training potential to operate the aircraft safely.

And there must be a reason for it other than lack of foresight. I don’t think they’ll be owners much longer...

How much is flying the jet worth? What about the other jet? What about the APU? It's a jet too. What about left turns? Does the aileron that goes up pay more than the aileron that goes down? All important questions.
Welp, time to jump in the reciprocating and head to the airport.

I am happy for the aircraft cleaners.

They’re gonna make some cash though. Instead of an hourly wage - they’re being paid per wad of gum they scrape up. They’ll be making Biffle bucks $$$$
