Fact......DALs contract reduced the overall number of DCI aircraft
Fact......that means less jobs at those carriers
Fact......It probably means less carriers
Fact......Other mainline carriers when they sign their contracts in the future will also reduce overall regional aircraft
Reality..... on this board for YEARS we have asked for carriers to take back scope and while they may have increased the number of "large" RJs overall the number of aircraft and seats offered at regionals is being reduced and will continue to reduce for some time.....Is not this what "pilots" have been asking for for years?
Reality..... If you are in the bottom half of any regional seniority list start looking.... start networking... there will be fewer jobs at regionals in the near future and just how many at other carriers is yet to be determined...a rocky ride for sure.
