If they raise their pay to put pilots in the seat, they will go under. They aren't sustainable anymore. They will be forced to shut down and the majors will take back regional flying with bigger loads and less frequency.

I hope I am wrong, but I guess we will see.
They'll never go away entirely. But hopefully they will get back to the days of Feeding Into the mainline rather than replacing it.
