Take a look at how the regionals have been treated since 9/11. Their legacy customers CONSTANTLY driving the price (product quality) down. AMR is now FINALLY doing that to their largest regional provider, as well as their most expensive.
Like others said, reference XJT and COMAIR. USAir was notorious for doing it to theirs in the 90's. To a lesser extent, and a bit of an apples to oranges comparison, AWAC and ACA with UAL.
