When UAL and AAL get their regional fleets re-aligned (park 50-seat jets) you will see the same thing happen there. The biggest implosion waiting to happen in the regional world is Express Jet. When UAL decides they want to cull the 50-seat fleet Express Jet will be decimated.

By then we would all be better off if Delta realized that a EtD program is still not going to staff DCI and they bring the 76-fleet to mainline. They can then have an EtD program and let all the regional lifers fly the 50-seat jets that are left. When all the growth they are trying to staff is for the 76-seat fleet they should just have that at mainline. Be easy to run a 50-seat DCI operation with lifers who don't want to go anywhere.
