I understand the difficulty of commuting on a full flight, however I do take issue with such a blanket statement. Just because Regionals are having difficulty doesn't mean that "RJ" sized (70-90 seat mainline jets) are going to go away. We should be more concerned about capturing this flying than insulting it. That's partially what got us here in the first place.
