Regional flying should be REGIONAL. Small airplanes, with a maximum flight distance as well. I really hope the MEC votes for what is in our best interest. I'm usually really optimistic, but I just have a bad feeling that these rumors have to have some truth to them. With southwest pushing back 737 deliveries, something going on between Delta and Pinnacle, along with the letter we received from the chairman emphasizing RATIO, I'm getting a little worried.
