I think shrinkage, consolidation and larger airframes will help but I don't see the companies I mentioned having 50% fewer airframes in 13 years. A Cessna 172 rents for $100/hour minus fuel and instructor. Throw in the new ATP requirements for 121 carriers and I just don't see regional airlines existing in their current form in 10 years.
