Unfortunately this is what has become of the regional industry. I know it's sad some pilots will be displaced at AE. So is the name of the game. At my past airline, they opened and closed bases like it was fun for them to watch the pilots squirm. I very, very, very rarely heard another pilot say, "I feel bad for you." or "I am sorry this happened." And all this was going on while furloughing! In the words of so many in the U.S. today, "Just be happy you still have a job!" Hundreds of thousands don't.
