It has much to do with it in my eyes. If they have such excess cash that they are bailing people out then I think they could have kept staffing greater than normal. How much does it cost to keep a few jr FOs on payroll? Not much. Your not saving much by kicking them to the streets and downgrading a few capts. For example, SKW, (and things could change tomorrow) has been around 200 pilots overstaffed for the past 3 or so months. We have 75 FO rsvs at ORD alone, way too many. There is something to be said about a company that makes every effort to keep their employes loyal and employed. Not drinking koolaid, because obviously they are staffing the airline to take advantage of any growth that may turn up but lets face it... they could can some pilots and be closer to proper staffing. All Im saying is, if I was a Republic pilot id have liked to seen the company barely dip into the bank and try to keep those who make the airline run an active part.
