I think it really lacks forward thinking for our management to try and secure up the 100 seaters at the regionals. If its a negotiating tactic then I get it. But the 100 seater are going to be a big part of our flying. In the late part of the decade when hiring picks up due to retirements who do you think is going to have trouble staffing an airline. It's not going to be the majors. The regionals are never going to pay enough to keep people there long term if given a choice. Eventually I see majors hiring guys without PIC time which would void the only carrot regionals have...a quick upgrade. So if management really whats to risk ruining the airline further they will continue down this path. Otherwise it's a strategic negotiating tactic that unfortunately will probably work.
