Plan is your key word there. They have no idea what the future will be past a few months. They will ride the regional wave but it will become a small wave soon.

Judging by the comments and from my impression the video was relatively useless. They did nothing to advance the industry and the conversation never left the ground. They know the answers to their own questions And are putting on an act to convince other stakeholders to change . This is the hole they dug themselves into. Pilots are not as willing to go to great lengths and prostitute themselves to chase the carrot and that is disrupting their business model.
Uh yea that bit about flying in a CRJ9 to impress the students and their parents was priceless. I'm sure that will solve the pilot shortage. Their whole premise was they were trying to solve the issue by raising interest in aviation, they are totally clueless. Why would anyone be interested in working 20k job gone more than half a year to fly a plane?

I have a friend who is only 1 year out of nursing school who routinely makes $1,000/day at a hospital in So Cal because they are so critically short of nurses. That's working a long day with lots of overtime pay but it's not any longer of a day than a typical abusive regional airline day.

Wages have come up in other industries and with FAR less barriers to entry. These regional airline managers have been asleep at the yoke. I hope they are dusting off their resumes because they won't be managing regional airline sweat shops much longer.

Yeah we have our 'friends' at ALPA and pilots with no back bones voting in these horrible contracts that keep regional pilots (FO's mainly) from making the money they/we deserve
