I already told you what the future of the industry was going to be. You continue to spit out public quotes from people who say what the public (and you) want to hear.
Sorry I don't put much credibility in a SKW dispatcher....... You probably also know future Powerball and Mega Millions numbers too. Public quotes from management types is about all we are gonna get. If you listen in on your CEO's private calls, then that might give your credibility a boost, otherwise you get as much info as the bathroom cleaner in SGU.
Watching what has happened recently with new hiring rules, new fatigue rules, and the amount of pilots coming up the pipeline, I'd say it ain't lookin great for any Regional. SKW may be one of the better ones of the litter, but eventually it too will feel the pinch of the lack of pilots. The once certainty of profits is gone for the feeders, instead replaced by lowest cost gets the feed. (Except to CUI and PLN?). The legacies will fly more previous Regional routes inhouse (where they were before the Regionals started), and the big 3 will get bigger and stronger thanks to consolidation. Ancillary fees will help the legacies, and the Regional feed will not share in those fees.
What to do? Regional employees need to realize what is happening and make plans accordingly. Apply to the legacies and LCCs. This may be "old news" according to gojo (Nostradamus), but it's still true today.
Do you have an idea where the MRJs will fly, if they actually do "fly" that is?
