Assuming the regional shortage does come, how are they going to make any money? If they can't put pilots in the front, they will go under. 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.
So what you are telling me is the regionals would go under if they raised their pay? Are you meaning across the board? Or just 1st year FO, or FO pay all together?
