*in typical deep movie trailer voice* "In a world, where pilots are faced by an uncertain future. Where planes will sit empty on the ramp. Where schedulers wont have anyone to call. It is...the end of the regional airline industry as the world knows it today. People will call this day the Armageddon of low time pilots. HR 5900. In theaters August 1st, 2013. Rated R for nudity"
