Shut em down boys and girls. If a company can't make a profit based on the slumlord rates you're already making, there's no point working for them.

Plus, you're already subsidizing the operation quite a bit. Actually, mainline is even subsidizing the operation at their rates.

Maybe if a few of these regional carriers are sent to the furnace, the mainline won't have much of an option to outsource anymore and the regional pilots will get picked up on the seniority list that you want.

I really hope these regionals have a hard time filling seats once age 65 finally kicks in come December.
