yes and no, if you look at 3-5 year numbers, some serious movement is about to happen. The 1500 hour rule and ft/dt will make regional pilots a tough market, particularly since an entire contract would have to be changed to up the first year pay (see rah). Eagle also has an ASA that would stay in effect during a merger, so you will see that continue till 2015. After 2015 we shall see, but at that point, I think mainlines will just use whatever regional has the staffing to fly the planes they want. AE now and honestly even Pinnacle are clear examples that everyone is very reluctant to lose a single pilot. Both could furlough mass numbers fast, but are doing it VERY slowly, and mostly just making it a threat.
