Due to the combined passengers of both airlines into many small markets, the 737 has taken back many markets from the RJ's! RIC, ROC, BUF come to mind! Let's realize that this is a good trend, or we can carry the old mindset of 'too small to fly at mainline' and continue to degrade the mainline profession. I have flown with many guppy FO's that have been making 20-30k these months (Yes, I saw pay screens!) plus b-fund and only flying 80ish hrs but crediting close to 200. Don't discount the 737, and let's try and make RJ's the new guppy at mainline!
