"The regional airline industry is slowly shrinking its way down to a handful of larger companies. Skywest Holdings, Republic Airways Holdings, Trans States Holdings and Mesa Air Group will likely be the last of the large, independent, regional jet operators in the country. Air Wisconsin may adapt, but it will be a painful and difficult transformation process. Pinnacle and Eagle will likely be acquired by one the groups mentioned above. While it will be a smaller industry in terms of the number of companies flying and the number of aircraft deployed, hopefully it will be a more rational industry and one that operates aircraft that are basically economically viable".
