The regional airlines are all going to be in a lot of trouble in the near future. If all the regionals are too expensive majors take flying back and we all win. Or just you could win.
Well summarized. Regionals are going away VERY quickly. Look at Great Lakes, Silver and PDT. Sure the new hires are flocking to regionals with current growth but PSA already said they're running out of applicants. And no it's not because new hires are going elsewhere, we're just running out of people with ATP qualifications. Thank God maybe 5-10 years from now we can all sit down and buy each other drinks reminiscing how we used to call each other all these names. Let the records show that I for one believe that Delta will be the first to staple endeavor to their seniority while United and AA will play catch up.
