Envoy, expressjet, republic, Skywest, and endevour make up 80%+ of all regional flying and pilots! they all have a most jr captain doh of 06-08 mainly almost all mid 07. That sure tell you a lot of the shape of the industry. This right here is why the turbine pic is being overlooked at many majors and LCc.
All analysts are pointing to a major regional consolidation round starting up, including more rounds of ch11.
Everything going on now was completely different a year ago and will be different in a year. Mesa and psa are the flavor of the week right now.
Ask the guys who picked republic in 2013 how that worked out? Or how everyone was going to eagle colgan pinnacle and expressjet in 2011.
Welcome to the suck.
